It sounds like the sort of 'bump' that intact rams get.  I seldom wether, so
don't know if a wether would develop the same bump, but it is similar to
what you are describing.  PS - how was your guy wethered?  If he was banded,
is it possible that one (or both) testicles were not caught in the band?  If
that happened he would still be producing testerone. I'm not very good at
banding and I've done a few rigs that were that way.

Hi All,
   Have a strange problem .I have a 2 year old wether whose head behind
the horns has grown very large suddenly . It does not seem to hurt him
, he actually likes me to stratch him there .He eats and poops normally
.It feels firm , not like it's full of fluid or anything .I will take
pics of it and post e-mail them to anyone who'd hazard a quess. I'm
afraid it might be some kind of weird tumor . Has anyone ever had this
happen?
