Cow people- warts?

[Dogstar]

I have a steer with warts on its face. Does anyone know if these tend to just drop off on their own as they do with young horses? Thanks

yeah its most likely papillomavirus - ususally regress by themselves. just make sure he cant catch them on anything and male them bleed.

Oh thanks for the advice. There are lots, but they are very small so hopefully shouldn't catch them on anything. Thanks again.

Yep we have a heifer with them too, they will generally just drop off in time. As long as he is well no need to worry.
