Hereford Calf Born
With Two! Mouths
A Hereford calf born on the
Sid Zinler place at lone early
this week has two mouths and
apparently has normal use of
each mouth. Zlnter said. It
suckles Its mother with either
mouth.
When the calf was born with
the deformity. Zlnter said that
he thought It would not sur
vive, but he noticed it was us
ing both mouths, which are
side by side with separate
nostrils. As It reached 72 hours
old and seemed to remain
healthy, It appeared that the
calf will live and develop.
In many cases when such
a deformity occurs, one of the
parts Is dormant, and this Is
unusual In that both mouths
seem to function normally.
