Looks like what a dogs neck will look like when people leave a collar on and it's too tight and left too long..

Old rope tied on it?

So no one has seen this in their goats? Four of mine have had to deal with it. Always through the months of September - January.

This isn't a very fair game, given that you can't hardly see what part of the goat you're looking at. Please, enlighten us.

These are sores and bare spots on the goat's side. They go in a line directly from his stomach to his spine.

Clueless. Not something that happens with my herd. Sept thru jam ( or any other time if the year lol). Just a guess due to the months you mentioned. Something odd that occurs with your goats during breeding season perhaps????
