I have a heifer that started getting a growth on her neck. It grew very fast. It looked just like a wasp nest.....same color and odd texture. I don't know if it is a big glob of warts or a tumor or what. I put her in the squeeze chute to inspect it and spray it with some iodine and she thrashed around some and got it split open and bleeding. I was going to cut it off but on second thought wasn't sure if there was a vein running up into it. I didn't want to take a chance on her bleeding profusely. I called the vet and she said that I could band it and let it fall off. Since it was like a mushroom with a slim neck banding it was simple. Hopefully it will fall off in a few days. I still wonder what it is. I took a pic before the iodine, her busting it open and me banding in. Any knowledge on what it is? Has anybody seen this before?
