I have heard of congenital hypotrichosis, commonly known as the rat-tail syndrome produced by crossing a dominant gene black color cow with Continental breeds. I have also heard of no tail but most of these have anus problems or even no anus. Since you did not mention that I assume that you do not have this added problem.
I believe you are a dairy farmer so I assume she will be added to your herd. Not a real problem then. Heck some farmers dock tails to get them out of the way. I just would not breed this cow to this sire again to avoid the recessive gene in both that most likely caused this.
If this was a beef steer I would say eat him to avoid the price reduction at the sale barn.
