[QUOTE="dschmiesing, post: 1591172, member: 38698"] Hello Everyone, I am new on this forum. I've raised steers a few times in the past with good luck and enjoyed having them. Right now I have a 7 month old Holstein steer by himself in pasture on 5 acres. I have had him for about 2 months. He weighs about 600-700 lbs. I have a mineral block out there which he licks and I also give him a mixture of sweet feed and corn a few times a week (trying to friendly him up). This steer is very skittish and he does not let people near him. Flys have been a problem and I have not been able to spray him with repellent. Yesterday, I noticed multiple growths on his head neck and both eyes. He also has just developed diarrhea. I am unsure what these growths are and how I could treat them. They look like giant warts or something. Does anyone have advice on what these are and how I could treat a scared animal with fly repellent? I tried to upload photos but am having trouble right now. Thanks for reading and any advice is greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
