I'll start out by telling ya'll first thing in the mornin' I'll be getting him in the trailer and headed for the vet. He's in a 180 acre pasture with my little bunch of cows. By the time i saw him tonight, it was too late to do anything with him.
I checked my cows on Sunday and noticed my bull had a swollen sheath. He's pretty mellow and allowed me to feel along his belly and the top of his sheath. Couldnt feel any swelling except for in his lower sheath. His equipment appeared normal. My thought was you know how bulls walk around with "IT" hanging out, maybe he got some dirt or some sage brush leaves up in his sheath. Well today his sheath is bigger and his equipment looks swollen also. Plus he has what looks like a ruptured abcess with infection and a little blood about 10 inches toward his brisket along his belly line. Now i'm wondering about a snake bite or equipment problems. Shouldnt have bred a cow for 2 months or more so can't imagine breaking a penis, but it would be my luck. Any ideas? He is still in great flesh and was chewing his cud when I walked up too him tonight.
