Scrotal lesion

[MarkM]

3yo bull. I don't know how long these lesions have been present. Slightly swollen around margins. Appears to be a drop of pus on one of the lesions. About the size of a quarter. Thoughts? Spider bites? Actions?

Thanks.

Abrasion, manure and mud attachment, a little frost/freeze ...?

My first guess is frost bite. If it is frost bite, semen quality is damaged. I am not familiar with how much and how long.

Frost bite makes sense, we had some pretty cold days recently. In person it does look just like that, necrotic tissue.

I does look like frost bite. Semen testing will be important for this one. May not necessarily be a show stopper for semen quality, but you will want to know.

Y'all beat me to it. My first thought is frostbite as well. And I also agree with Jeanne & Silver, a semen test would be in order.
