I am from north carolina and run a small herd of about 120 head. Over the past two winters i have noticed hair loss on a large percenage of my cattle. our pastures hold grazing normally until the end of dec. and we start feeding fescue hay and brewers grains, but the hair loss never starts until later, around late jan. My first thought was a parasite such as lice but we never have summer problems with lice and i dont know if that could be the case during our cold winters? most of the hair loss is confined to the neck area but there are some small patches missing all over some animals. the cows are health and fat, and have a free choice of high mag salt and trace minerals. if any one can help i would really apreciate it. thanks mw
