Bull calf with swollen sheath

I have a one month old bull calf that has a pretty swollen sheath,that im guessing is from being stepped on. I was waiting for it to go down by itself but unfortunately it hasnt. It is about the size of, oh i dont know, a tangerine?? It isnt hard,more like a bubble, and doesnt cause him much pain when you touch it. We went ahead and stuck a needle in it to drain out whatever is inside and all we got was blood..Any ideas on what to do?
Im just afraid that itll continue to grow as he does, and affect him in the showring later on.
Thanks in advance
