Congenital defects in calves were not uncommon. A two-day old, graded Murrah male calf presented with a huge swelling and absence of anal opening was diagnosed as congenital cyst and atresia ani upon close clinical examination. Under epidural anaesthesia and sedation, the cyst was surgically removed, and a new anal opening was created following standard surgical procedure. By good post operative care and management, the calf recovered uneventfully.
