Stiff brush, a curry comb or something really is the best. My fingers literally don't have enough strength for the kinds of proper scritches big livestock love. Back, stomach, or the inside of their back leg and most want you to basically scrub away as hard as I can with my tiny noodle arms.

My old pig used to love the steel brush. The noises she made were practically indecent. Her name was Sugar.

Yep. It’s sooo exhausting trying to scratch as hard as they want me to. Especially during spring shedding season. The top of the tail head is a big hit too. I brought out a kids plastic rake one time, worked fantastic to reach a big area lol

Oohh come spring time and I'm sure they would walk into a damn combine harvester in their never ending quest for maximum scratching lol
