You've got to read this.. <i>Four hooves, two faces and some TLC</i> (born on Christmas eve - picture included)<br><br><br><br><a href="http://www.timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=95827&category=FRONTPG&BCCode=HOME&newsdate=1/22/2003" target="_blank">http://www.timesunion.com/AspStories...date=1/22/2003</a><br><br><br><br>
The calf has three eyes, though the middle one is not completely developed, and two snouts. Each snout has a normally formed tongue, teeth and nostrils, which protrude in a right angle to both sides of its head. The head is twice the size of a normal calf's.<br><br><br><br>
Bud has one brain behind the two faces, so if he chews or sticks his tongue out on one side, the other tongue comes out, too.<br><br><br><br>
"When he eats, he uses the mouth closest to the food but both mouths chew right along although he's only really using one," Goodermote said, as the calf tried to lift up its head and look around. "If he grows to be a full-sized adult cow, he's going to get some second looks out in the pasture."<br><br><br><br>
"The veterinarian said he will survive if he lives at least six weeks and has a very good chance if he's still with us after four weeks," Goodermote said. "It looks like we are going to have him for some time because they are surprised at how well he's doing."<br><br><br><br>
Well, it'll be 4 weeks tomorrow.
