Kale disease

[Devon lad]

Our Maris kestrel kale seems to have acquired these black spots in the last few days. It has been a real wet autumn here in mid Devon, we’re using it for yearling heifers and hope to graze it until mid February, any ideas of what it could be, grown kale for 7 years and not seen it before. It’s started in the dry south facing part of the field that was stunted by the dry summer weather. tia

I wouldn't worry. It's winter. Leaves die off.
