Name that bump!

[cassierousseau]

My Dexter cow has a bump on her forehead. It's hard and crusty, haven't really touched it, but kind of picked with the corner of the feed scoop. This weekend, I'm pretty sure there was blood around it. Is it a wart and maybe she scraped it on a tree? The pics aren't very good, she was very suspicious of us photographing her so close!

Thanks for your help!

Looks like a wart to me, but hard to tell. If it's a wart, it will go away on its own, eventually.

I also vote for a wart. Warts disappear by the time they're two years old and don't come back.

It does kind of look like a big wart.

Yep, looks like a wart to me. Some people pull them off with pliers (a little bloody, but they come right off) and some people burn them off with liquid nitrogen if they have a semen tank.

wart. It should go away over time
