Have a Nubian goat that has some type of rough, light colored areas on the end of his ears. Would this be a fungus? He has had it for probably 6 months and it doesn't seem to bother him. Anybody have ideas?

Yes I can get a picture of it. In fact , I meant to take some pics of my baby goats tonight but forgot. Will try to post it tomorrow.

Have you checked him over thoroughly to make sure it isn't anywhere else?

I haven't noticed it anywhere else but haven't looked in detail.

Honestly, it looks like dead skin cells but a BIG clump of it.
Caused from drying out after being soaked or even from frostbite.
Maybe mites but I'm not too sure on that one. This happened to my dog and it was from the cold mostly. Some was caused by being dry. You can actually pull a piece of her ear off.

With that said, is it elevated or seem to blend in and Is it hard or soft?

You can always try putting something like NuStock on it. Or M-T-G.

We live in south Texas near Corpus Christi. The only time it gets cold here is a few weeks in January.
It is elevated and coarse but on the side of his ear, it seems to be smooth.

I'd try what kslavango said & maybe put some vazaline or antibacterial creme.
