Bob, were these lumps hard? TB lesions can form along the ribs and look remarkably like what you have shown! Did you fully inspect the pluck & head lymph nodes? Did you try to incise these lumps?
John
Hi John,
Yes the lumps were very hard same as the rib bones, the pluck and lymph nodes looked OK as was the liver no different to any others I've seen, but what I will say is I think it was quite an old Buck and not in great condition, it had quite a number of full ticks around it's neck, throat and chin area.
Bob.
