[QUOTE="Morgon64, post: 814733, member: 16267"] I'm going to try to post pics...first things first though...I don't think she's a freemartin...heard of that, there is no separate thing that looks like male parts...this is definitely where the cord broke. And no, it does not feel like a hernia, either. When I palpate it, it feels like a thick cord or rope with skin and fur around it! The end is healing, but I don't see where anybody iodined it, either. The only thing this reminds me of is a weird umbilical cord I saw once in Labor and Delivery (I'm an RN) where the skin on the kid's belly where the umbilical cord had joined was extended out a couple inches...so that the cord attached a couple inches from the belly instead of snugged right into it... Def a heifer: [img]http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee448/BeeMore333/calf007.jpg[/img] This odd appendage: I guess it's actually about 4", and it is pretty thick!
