Well, no. If it is biting lice, other than some discomfort and some hair
loss this does not affect the animal's health. We have noticed some
possible genetic influence. Some of our current cattle are affected, some
are not. It doesn't seem to be related to breed influence or diet as our
cattle are on pasture all year long.

Any organic cattle raisers have an effective treatment for lice? We've just
been living with endemic levels in the winter; usually clears up in summer
when back on grass. Also, any horse people on this list ever hear of
growing pains in young colts? Our vet just diagnosed our 7mo draft colt
with epiphysitis (spelling?) aka growing pains: stilted apparently painful
gait, unusual amount of time lying down.
