    I have a 23 month old 4 star LMX heifer with 2 large cysts with 1 on either side of her. She has recently been a.i’d however one was there since before she got the straw. Vet has been out twice and said it should not impact her going in calf and that they haven’t seen anything like it before.

    Vet won’t lance it as it’s filled with blood and she could potentially bleed out. He said if it grows more and is possibly obstructing her airway they would have choice but to lance it.

    I am baffled by it and it would be such a shame to lose her as she’s a fine animal.
