Two-headed calf born in tiny village stuns farmer and villagers

A calf born with TWO HEADS has stunned farmers in a small village.
The animal was born from a cow who has given birth to three healthy calves in the past.
And it would likely have been dismissed by villagers, they say - had they not seen it with their own eyes.

Farmer Gan Yuanhua said: "I heard the cow shuffling around and making odd noises in the shed, and I knew she was about to give birth."

From his home in Shaijin Village in Linshui County, in south-west China’s Sichuan Province, he said he initially thought the cow had given birth to twins when he saw the two heads and did not realise immediately that it was a mutation.

The cow, who seemed to be unaffected by the fact that it was deformed, reportedly died shortly after birth.
