So calving is well underway here and since all the herds are in the herds more often we've noticed a huge lice problem. Apparently we can't use a pour on till all the cows have calved for some reason. Now my question is that there have been four cows with Cysts on their backs just in front of their pin bones and one on her…

Apparently we can't use a pour on till all the cows have calved for some reason. Now my question is that there have been four cows with Cysts on their backs just in front of their pin bones and one on her neck. My guess would be infection from scratching against tree lines and posts etc over winter but anyone have any experiences of similar symptoms.

P.S I know this is all speculation and guesswork especially for those commenting and that we should get the vet out.
