i have a 6 week old calf that looked as though he might have a small hernia at his navel. ran him into the chute and felt of it... was expecting to fill a fluid sac, but the cord was about 1/2-3/4 inch in diameter and very firm. it extended down about 4-5 inches and was a little bigger at the lower end.
otherwise the calf looks and acts to be in very good health, and is growing very well. he is actually a very good calf.
i have never held one down and felt of the navel cord before, but would think this is not normal..
what do some of you think this is, and if a problem, what should i do about it..
thanks
