two headed calf

two heads 8 legs both sexes and one set of hips

That's crazy! How is the cow doing?

Crazy, never seen one like that before, seen two heads, but only had 4 legs.   Amazing the things we just can't explain.!!

she is fine it was a second calf hiefer

We got ahold of Ripley's believe or not. They are going to pay the expense of getting it sent to a taxidermist they want the calf.

Do you get anything out of it then?

We are in the process of finding a suitable place for it.

was it a embryo calf?

That's crazy thanks for posting the picture

No just out of the herd bull.

had this two head calf come through some years ago

I have never heard of a 2 headed, 8 legged calf before. I wonder where they were still attached. I assumed that you had to do a C-section but saw the ropes on the legs. Were you actually able to pull the calf out and the cow is okay? What a tough cow! That is so interesting. Would love to hear any more info you have about this.

is this real??

Yes the calf was pulled and the cow was actually ok afterwards, being a second calf heifer i couldnt believe how big the calf actually got, the really interesting part is that there is both a bull and a heifer.. if anyone has any ideas of an institution that would want to do research it would be appreciated, or what its worth to someone,,,

american honey, im sure i could make a paper mache pinata but not an entire calf,,,

Born dead I assume?

my grand pa had a two headed (4 legged) calf born about 30 years ago and had it mounted. lived for i couple of days i think. we had the head(s) in a little shed but the roof blew off and it rained in and ruined them here this past august

That is freaky crazy. Makes you wonder how or what make this happen.

I'm sure you could contact someone at a veterinary school close by and they would be interested in figuriing out what caused this. Maybe Colorado or Texas A&M. I'm not quite sure were you are from but I'd definitely ask one. I am still amazed that you didn't have to do  c-section!

Yes it was born dead. We are waiting to hear back from CSU we called them today.
