Looks like CODD from those pics - are the lesions breaking out of the coronary band?
From NADIS......
Sheep with CODD show severe lameness typically affecting one claw of one foot with reluctance to bear weight. Initially small ulcers develop at the coronary band (the junction of the hoof wall and haired skin of the pastern) which can become so severe that the whole hoof capsule detaches. The damage caused by CODD can be so severe that horn regrowth is permanently damaged. In the early stages not all affected sheep will be lame so careful examination of purchased animals for signs of CODD is essential.
One or two seems to be breaking from the band, most seem to be just up the leg abit with no damage to the hoof
That was also mentioned! How do you treat strawberry footrot?

First time on this winter grazing and 12/15 ewes out of 50 including the ram has got “cuts” like this. Some, where the hoof meets the leg and some on up the leg, little or no scald in the whole group. Any ideas ?
