Do you know what color to choose for your Red Calf? Our industry has never seen this many color options before, so rest easy knowing that the right shade is achievable with Sullivan’s touch-ups. The spectrum ranges from light red/orange to dark brown/red. The options are endless!
To properly blend each of these colors, we asked Stock Show University Professor Kip Wallace how to cover a leg. Here are his instructions: “Step a full 12 inches away and LIGHTLY mist the colors together in the same direction so they evenly coat the leg at the same time.” He also advised starting with a lighter color, as it is easier to get something too dark really fast if using the wrong shade. 
Pictured here is Stock Show University Professor Kip Wallace showing exactly his technique with Pulse Manager Rachel Davis.
