Visitors to a central Kentucky farm may do a double-take when they see the newest addition: a two-faced calf.
Stan McCubbin of Campbellsville told WDRB-TV that he thought he had twins when he first saw the calf on Friday, but quickly realized he had something far more unusual.
The female calf has two noses, two mouths and four eyes, though the middle two eyes don’t function. Although she can walk, the McCubbins say she ends up going in circles and falling over.
The family says most calves with such a genetic mutation are stillborn, but so far this one is eating and seems healthy.
McCubbin’s wife, Brandy, said their 5-year-old daughter, Kenley, named the calf Lucky because she’s lucky to be alive.

More than likely, the mother cow was the lucky one to survive this birth. I am sure she had a bit of trouble and then some getting that head out.
What is causing this deformity? We have same situation with wild birds in my area. Eggs don’t hatch and babies have two beaks , two feet and other issues.
Is it water?
Hillary better name, but like Lucky.
Poor baby!
That’s Hitlery!!!!!!
When I was a child, we had a kitten with similar features. However, as I recall. there were only two eyes.
My father took it to the local college for study.
Wow, it really is strange that those birds are hatched with two feet,,, lol
So???? Did they name it Killary?
Love her no matter what. Just as the mother cow loves her.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet your next democrat presidential candidate…
Isn’t there a Bible verse about animals born this way? Something referring to the second coming maybe? Just askin.
