Faunsdale, AL | I doubt the claim that it is genetic or at least that it is a heritable genetic condition.
Many heritable conditions are rare except among populations of related individuals that carry the genes. Schistosomas reflexus is rare in every population but is still seen in every breed and crossbred cattle as well.
The basic defect is the body wall does not close along the ventral midline. As far as the claim that it will be a younger cow that has one, a lot more younger cows have calves than old ones, so that should skew the results a little! | |

Inside-out calf ?
