    Someone asked about them here a few years back. Lost Covey assured us that they would heal themselves in sunlight!

    I believe he is correct. Have a yearling simmental heifer with them. Let her out of the shed, about six weeks ago. They have improved greatly in that time. No treatment applied whatsoever.

    I think they are angle berries, we had a limo heifer two years ago who got these really bad 3/4 her face neck were covered in them, they eventually fell off after 6-8 months in her case, never did a thing on her

    Angle berries they are. Up here people say they only affect a good thriving animal. They will goon their own

    they are a type of wart caused by a virus..papillomavirus...generally only seen in young stock...see them on young horses every so often as well.they will go down in size and eventually fade away with time and are only a problem if they are clustering together so dirt can trap between them and cause infections.
    They can be a sign of a lowered immune system but they rarely cause issues.
