I wouldn't worry about it. Lots of bulls get that from their nust rubbing on the ground when they lay down or get up. Especially if they are laying in a muddy area. Won't hurt the performance of the bull. BTW how did you get a picture like that? He should be fine.

Ok now for some reason I got the picture after postin. looks like it's inflamed around the scabs......if you can get a picture like that you should be able to put somethin on there. I'd be for tryin an anti fungus spray or cream. maybe some neosporin for the itch....could be caused by flys also.

Thanks the vet confirms it could be flys.
more than likely is excessive rubbing.
I was thinking an oil base fly repellent?
Doesn't seem to bother him at all. I only noticed because of his attraction to a larger frame cow.
First experience with a light color bull. Now I wonder if it's happened before and I didn't see it on black skin

I second the motion, that is one heck of a pic. Talk about getting up close and personal.
Now I don't want a picture of your's, Dun, but if they itch you have my permission to commence relieving said itch. Might be a good idea to have someone else with clean nails do it tho, as you being busy, might have dirty nails, and make said problem worse.TLCfromARK":1q9jx7fn said:

Looks like the result of frost bite.

Boy I am still wondering how you got that pic myself.
I have seen the problem caused by flies also.
Just can't get over that picture and thinking how you took it.

It seemed so simple when I did it. I just didn't think about anyone even caring how the picture got, got.
So here are some choices fer ya.
A; laid on the ground and made sounds like a cowpaddy till he passed over.
B; Own the fastest 4 wheel drive mechanics creeper available
C; Put down a flake of alfalfa to take his mind off things and have a camera with swivel lense.
answer below

Fly bites. If you can get that close to take a picture, get some SWAT.. it's used on sores on horses, but it works great on cattle. Sticks very well and also has fly repelent.
Best of all, it's bright pink. Your bull will love that.
