My father in law had a calf born that has 8 legs, it has two livers, two sets of small intestines, 1 large intestine and one heart.  I tried to upload a picture but they are too large, but I have some on out facebook page.  it is under lanecattle.

Twins that didn't divide - how is the cow?

The cow is fine.  It was not really that hard of a pull.  My father in law thought it was a set of twins that were coming at the same time.  She is a big cow,  If they would have split correctly this would have been her second set of twins in a row.  I would guess she will be sold.  We gave the calf to a local science teacher who is a taxidermist on the side.  She posted the calf and boiled all of the bones.  She is going to use it in her class.  We called two universities and they were not interested in the calf.  My father in law was contacted yesterday by Ripleys believe it or not.

That's wicked, I have never seen or for that matter heard of such. Pretty neat Ripley's is calling you though.

No they might have if we had contacted them before the science teacher disected the calf.
