I have seen some about that big but usually it is more the size of a tennis ball.

What does CL stand for? I appreciate knowing because Iread this alot with regard to goats. Is it only a goat thing?

Yes we have seen them get this large. lb, do something about it before it bursts! Ann, CL is contagious, to sheep and to horses and to humans. Do a search on it in the archives, we have talked it to death. Vicki

Yes, as everyone mentioned CL can get as baseballs. I would manage it very carefully because it is contagious.
