Could she have stood underneath something that has dropped on her?

Did you put anything on after shearing, that stayed on the fleece instead of dispersing or breaking down?

I was puzzled by one of mine, she had a white caked deposit (not like your stuff though). Eventually I remembered I'd put louse powder on while shev was inside previous year.
