Last Monday, March 25, DAVIDSON\u2014Guinness World Records and Ripley’s Believe It or Not came to Davidson to confirm the birth of a three-headed calf.\u00a0On Gordon Willner’s farm, west of Davidson, a three-headed red Angus cross calf was born at 2 a.m.\u00a0Weight 113 pounds.\u00a0Before the momentous event, it had been just another day on the farm during calving season.\u00a0The cow was being watched as she was going to calve at any moment.\u00a0As the due date approached, it became clear that the delivery was not going as planned.\u00a0Willner slid his arm into the cow, worried, and felt one, then a second head.\u00a0He called for help, assuming it was a pair of twins.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
The call for help was answered by Dr. Olaf Lipro, a large animal veterinary medicine resident at the University of Saskatchewan.\u00a0He arrived at the rgore\u0433t\u0443 and conducted an investigation, concluding that there were two heads there.\u00a0He opted to do an emergency C-section after the labor failed to progress.\u00a0It was the first time Lipro performed an emergency cesarean section on a cow.\u00a0He said he did one about three weeks ago on a pug who couldn’t give birth to her pug\/rottweiler puppies.\u00a0\u201cThat went really well,\u201d Lipro continued, \u201cso I thought getting these twins off Gord’s cow should be a piece of cake.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"Incredible<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

After administering a local anesthetic to the cow, Lipro performed the surgery as described in his textbook.\u00a0He grabbed the second hind leg and hooked it to a whelping chain before pulling it out with a strong tug.\u00a0The calf refused to move.\u00a0She was surprised at how difficult it was to get the calf out.\u00a0She commented that the pug\/Rottweiler puppies came out easily.\u00a0With time running out and the cow’s life at stake, they needed to move quickly to get the calf out safely.\u00a0Lipro pulled on the shackles with all his might.\u00a0The calf finally broke 100se.\u00a0He was asked to see that what he believed to be the first calf of a pair of twins was actually a three-headed calf when he took it out of the u\u1d1b\u1d07\u0280us.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was totally speechless,\u201d Lipro explained.\u00a0He has heard of two-headed calves being born before, but never of a three-headed calf, he said.\u00a0His initial reaction, he added, was to pull out his iPhone and post it on social media.\u00a0He then remembered that he needed to get back to work.\u00a0He examined the airways of his calf, all three of them, to make sure he could breathe.\u00a0One of the heads, the one in the center, seemed to be in \u1d05\u026as\u1d1b\u0280\u1d07ss.\u00a0Lipro said he had to clean amniotic fluid from the animal’s nose.\u00a0Some others use some straw, but Lipro says he learned a new technique.\u00a0He claims that he sucks the problematic fluid from one nostril using the straw of a t\u0456m Hortons Iced Capp.<\/p>\n

After administering a local anesthetic to the cow, Lipro performed the surgery as described in his textbook.\u00a0He grabbed the second hind leg and hooked it to a whelping chain before pulling it out with a strong tug.\u00a0The calf refused to move.\u00a0She was surprised at how difficult it was to get the calf out.\u00a0She commented that the pug\/Rottweiler puppies came out easily.\u00a0With time running out and the cow’s life at stake, they needed to move quickly to get the calf out safely.\u00a0Lipro pulled on the shackles with all his might.\u00a0The calf finally broke 100se.\u00a0He was asked to see that what he believed to be the first calf of a pair of twins was actually a three-headed calf when he took it out of the u\u1d1b\u1d07\u0280us.<\/p>\n

The calf began to nurse on its own after 48 hours of struggling, but needed to be bottle-fed for the first 48 hours as it struggled to stand.\u00a0He was able to maintain it on the third day.\u00a0Nursing became difficult due to the fact that the three heads collided while trying to latch onto each other.\u00a0The prognosis for the calves, according to Lipro, is not good.\u00a0A three-headed calf rarely survives more than a few days, while a two-headed calf rarely survives more than a few days.\u00a0\u201cOnly time will tell,\u201d Lipro said.\u00a0Although one was born in Illinois in 1893, this may be the first three-headed calf in history.<\/p>\n

The following article appeared in the Mattoon Gazette on January 13, 1893, from Mattoon, Coles County, Illinois: \u201cAt the time of printing, a Lafayette farmer reports that a three-headed calf was born in the neighborhood just southeast and a little north of the Monroe School Building.\u201d\u00a0He asks that his identity be kept hidden so that the culprit can be brought to justice.\u201d\u00a0\u2026Whatever he entails.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
