growth on tup

[betternextyear]

My Tup has this growth on his head. Any ideas what I can do about it? Ignore the demon eyes the camera flashed at him.

Cutaneous horn, just leave it.

Put disinfectant spray on it whenever their in for any treatments and put your blowfly/maggot insecticide on it when your doing his rear/back.

Why?

They can get more problems with headfly but I'd be more worried about him doing harm to the other tups fighting. Looks like you're feeding him well!

My texel tup grows a horn like that but it gets knocked off each year when the rams are put back together after tupping.

Why?

The blood runs down their face and down their chest etc, it's ideal bait for flies! Our BFL are the worst for them but almost half will have them at some point

Ah I see, if they bash them, or one another.
