Not where you are
Never had any major problems before now, seeing several head with warts developing on their necks.
What's the best advice you guys have for this.
Calves don't appear to be getting them at this time, only the brood cows.
 
Unless you're going to be showing them or hauling to a sale, just ignore them. They'll run their course.
Frequently people claim that if you have warts once that every year the young stock will eventually get them. Not so. Bought a heifer a couple of years ago that got warts about 2 weeks after we got her. The other heifers that were with her didn;t get any and none of the calves have had them. Did have a wart looking grwth at the corner of one cows eye. Pulled off the tick and that was the end of the wart scare.

If they are not show animals, I would ignore them - they will run their course and disappear. If they are show animals, I can't help you.
