Pretty cool story!
Interestingly enough, we have a calf just like this at the vet college here in Saskatoon, SK, Canada right now too. She's a couple months old now, with all the spunk and energy you'd expect of a normal calf. She's been here for about a week now, last I heard they didn't know exactly what they were going to do with her in the long-term.
Weird to know of 2 stories of a seemingly incredibly rare disorder so close together.
