Kerry is a dual-purpose breed that people might want to examine. They are an ancient breed and they can survive where others will starve to death, eating what modern cows refuse. Kerries are smaller than most modern cattle, cows weighing about 500 -600 lbs. and crossbreeding to Kerry bulls...

You're right. After you told me what to look for I googled it and that's what it is. We have always had a small mostly closed herd and we've never had that before. I took them all to the vet for dehorning so I expect I caught it there. I appreciate the information!

All my black Kerry cattle have white crusty areas around the eyes. One has a similar spot on her shoulder. I have had cattle all my life and I've never seen it before. Anybody have any idea what it migh be?
