Question?

[Daisy452]

My pure black angus steer is 7 months old now. Ive been away a couple days and had my father feeding him.
Came back today and found on the back of his neck, it was losing its hair, i touched and it was dry. It was a light redish pink. It was rough and when i pinched it a little it felt bumpy. he got very disturbed when i began touching it.
I thing it my be mange, and other suggetions?

de worm if you haven't already. Is he rubbing on a bale ring while feeding? Not sure what to do if it is mange, the vet or someone here will, but worming would be my first job it it were my animal

its probably just lice or either he is rubbing it on something like a hayring or something when he eats?
