Pop-Up Post: Two Heads Are Better Than One

Believe it or not, but a family in Jamieson, Oregon just had a freaky surprise waiting for them Monday on their farm in Malheur County: a two-headed calf. Check it out.

Two-headed calf born: 'It had one neck, two ears and four eyes'

I see… myself (Heidi Kirschbaum)

Pretty weird, huh?

Obviously, a two-headed anything isn’t likely to live very long—if at all—and this was no different. The calf was dead when Charlan Kirschbaum found it, but this certainly didn’t diminish the amazement of the discovery.

“You do a double-take and say, wait a minute, whoa,” Kirschbaum said. “We know it doesn’t happen very often, but it happened to us.”

And to preserve this natural oddity, the Kirschbaums did what any good farming family would do: they removed the double head and stuck it in the freezer.

This story gets freakier by the minute!
