Light hair behind the shoulder

What does the round patch of lighter colored hair behind the shoulders indicate? Most of my doe are still smooth in their winter coats. I have a couple with the lighter thinner looking hair behind the shoulder. They seem to not be quite as vibrant as the rest of the herd. Could someone explain if this is a sign of a potentially more serious under lying health issue?
 
Jonathan, the buck fawn here that was saved from ehd is much lighter in color than the rest of the other buck fawns. His coat is not nearly as smooth as the rest. You can definitely pick him out of the crowd. Just a thought.
