Anyone know what this is on a bullock

[Geoffreywrc]

Seen this on under side of a bullock this evening just in front of back leg.
Anyone know what it is

 

[MRT]

Looks like a wart. Papilloma virus. Or its a bit of grass, hard to tell

 

[topground]

Warts with a bit of grass caught

 

[Northeastfarmer]

Grass growing wart

 

[Av Gorritt]

Angleberries?

 

[JSmith]

I had something like that on a steer calf last year and it grew an grew an......!! Had it removed by the vet, didn’t come back

Sarcoid is I believe the correct diagnosis, but the other description of angleberry or wart is also correct. In horses it can be a real problem. Treatments vary, and can be expensive. It can be transmitted.

Get rubber rings round them or fishing line tied tight. They'll shrivel up and fall off

If they are loose from the body a rubber ring will work cheaper than the alternative.

Sounds like everyone is saying angle berries or warts.
Would Iodine sprayed over them be any use or has anyone any other ideas how to treat

 

[Pistonbroke]

Done it with the rubber rings. Some say bactakil spray works

As others have said, a rubber castration ring around each clump has always worked here successfully. I must admit I thought they were called ‘dangleberries’ though!

Years ago , before rubber rings were introduced , the method with them was a length of horsehair to tie them off !. It was surprisingly strong and usually a couple or perhaps three ligatures was enough for them to wither and drop off . And of course it was available on just about every farm , and free too !

I was wondering why this thread wasn’t in Manflu Corner.

Then I realised it said bullock.

 

[Sir loin]

I would leave well alone, you are more likely to get injured under there trying to get them off. They will not affect its performance the size they are , unless its a show beast!!!!

This was on a heifer last year, found her bleeding ... put a rubber ring on and it fell off in a few days. Nothing on her now. Old vet said that yrs ago they cut them off, dried them and put them down the animals throat to help the animal fight them off ... I've never tried it tho!

I just use the burdizzo get it over them but don’t get any of the actual skin in it then pinch they usually pop off and don’t bleed spray of blue spray or iodine jobs a goodun obviously wants doing in a crush with a leg up
