[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1817973, member: 12607"] My money is on chorioptic mange... Chorioptes bovis mite infestation. Lesions are typically worse around the tailhead and on the legs, but can be anywhere on the animal. Most cattle have C.bovis, but certain individuals have a bigger problem with it than others... possibly due to mineral deficiency, stress, etc. Treatment with a pour-on macrocyclic lactone, like Cydectin or Ivermectin would be in order. simme mentioned photosensitization - but with the caveat that that's probably not what's going on with this animal... only non-pigmented skin would be affected in those instances.
