Have a Hereford calf about 2 weeks old, hadn't noticed before this morning but could have missed it. The calf has some places on its legs right above the hooves on each foot maybe 3 inches or more long and maybe a half inch to inch wide with no hair. The hide is just bare and pink, no hair at all in those areas, doesn't look like cuts or any type of wound. I thought at first maybe the hair had got stuck to the froze ground and pulled off, nut it seems to be in various areas of the legs in front and back, some of it would bound to be up next the calf's body and not touching the ground. I have had hay unrolled for them to lay on so I just don't know. Calf was running around healthy acting, so it aint no big deal just got my attention this morning. It could have been that way all along and I never noticed. It's a little warmer and wasn't terribly freezing cold or raining this morning so I reckon I looked things over a little better this morning.
