If you are intending to necropsy one yourself, the key is knowing an abnormality when you see it.That's fine....I'm just testing the waters to see if others may find it helpful....if not, then I certainly won't attempt it. I think she has a tumor or growth along her esophogus that is causing her issues, she does have a large lump in that area just above the breast bone where the neck meets the chest.
I have seen an entire mature bovine necropsied before, and even tho I had been inside a cow several times during slaughter, if I hadn't been told what I was seeing and looking for during the necropsy, I would have been totally in the dark.
