Flushed/ bruised appearing skin after worked

Post by hansonpo4 » Fri May 31, 2019 7:45 am

We have a January Barrow about 215# that has in the last week started to get flushed/ bruised appearing skin on his front flank behind his elbows, it shows up after he is worked but is gone within 10 minutes or so of being put back in his pen.

he's probably a stress positive animal, stressers usually get that when they are worked
