[QUOTE="ladycrofter, post: 4918294, member: 616"] Probably lice. The cattle have been murdered with them this year. Changed from Spot-On to Dectospot. Mistake. Lice cut the hair at skin level and lay eggs so you get small clumps of wool/hair coming away with a kind of gritty tan gunge at the base. Can;t say how that compares to scab as I've never seen it. A cold spell can bring on a lice "attack" as they live on the animal but only go down to skin level for warmth when it gets cold. Si I believe. In your case as said I would check, some treatments IIRC cover both lice and scab? [/QUOTE]
