fitting legs - combs

which comb do you guys like to use fitting legs

I have to fit someones steer thursday for their county fair and the only thing i think i can mess up is the legs

all three, It just depends on the leg hair type and the adheisve your using, and where your at in fitting the leg.

To begin with I normaly use the first comb with formula 1 and I comb and keep combing and then when I use tail adheive I use the last comb, I dont own the middle comb so I wouldnt know ))

We use that first one for everything. Combing in Zoom Bloom, Shaving Cream, Legs, and take it in the ring with us. Best all around comb IMO.

1st one unless they have just incredible amounts of hair.  Never used the 2nd one on legs, we did have 1 heat wave steer that had afro hair that we used that on, but only on the body.

this calf is really hairy on his body and has pretty good leg hair to, but hes got more bone than any calf ive seen this year.

BTW this steer will be at the pike co. fair (OH) on thursday evening if your in the area...

I agree with everyone to use the first one.  If you can find one like that with finer teeth it would work even better.  I have one like that with finer teeth and it works wonders.  The teeth get caked with adhesive and hair over time so you need them to be as fine as possible.

I (and most everyone I fit with) use a fluffer for boning legs pretty much all the time, unless the hair's really thin, then the finer tooth might be necessary.

Agreed. There's a steer that I've been fitting this year, that I HAVE to use the skip tooth on.  Hairiest steer I've ever messed with.

At fitting camp they said to use the first one for fitting legs.  They did say a plastic one for showmanship was desired though.  This is due to being safer and not poking as much.
