    White-faced ewe-lamb?

    The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It's to promote critical thinking.

    Facial Eczema would be my guess. Thinging that it arises from fungi that grow on plants - particular problem with lush crops of tyfon (certain grass areas in New Zealand have problems with this and are selecting for resistance in their breeding programmes). White sheep seem to be more succeptible (especially texels) but its not just confined to them. Its an alkaloid poisoning / liver damage - remove them indoors (out of sunlight and give antibiotic and steriod - your Vet will advise) sometimes can get away with putting them back into same field after they have cleared up.

    Facial Eczema is just a name for a photosensitisation that occurs in a specific circumstance.
