Calf Born with Two Faces in Southwest Louisiana

In the rarest of incidents, a calf on a farm in southwest Louisiana was born with two faces, the farm where she was born, announced last month.

Breaux Farms in Cossinade, a community about 90 miles west of Baton Rouge, on Feb. 28 shared on Facebook, that one of their cows gave birth to a calf with two faces, four eyes, two noses, two mouths, and two ears.

The farm said that the chance of such a calf being born was "1 in 400 million" and that she would most likely have a short life span.

"She has beaten a lot of odds by being born alive and currently still alive at least 14 [hours] after birth," said the farm. "We have named this calf Deux Face, French for two face[s]."

The calf's condition is referred to as polycephaly, which is the condition of having more than one head. In most cases, such calves are stillborn, while some live for several hours or days, according to the Associated Press, with the oldest polycephaly calf having lived for almost 40 days.

Deux Face has been alive for almost two weeks now, according to the most recent update by Breaux Farms Monday. The farm said that the calf is "making positive progress" and is "getting a little stronger every day".

She has almost been able to hold up her head, something was unable to do earlier, while her legs are also getting stronger.

"We are hopeful she will be standing on her own before we know it," the farm said.

Latest Update: She is still making positive progress getting a little stronger every day. Here is a video of her holding her head up, something she wasn't able to do a week ago. Her legs are getting stronger too and we are hopeful she will be standing on her own before we know it.

That one goat in the back is like ... "WTF".

She is cute. I too, am interested to see if she survives.

Lotsa strange stuff born in Louisiana, daily.

Go checkout the LaborUnit at LSU Med in Shreveport.
And especially at Old Main in New Orleans.

Re: Calf Born with Two Faces in Southwest Louisiana

She is still doing about the same. Feeding well and bodly functions are good. Vet visit today for an eye infection. Also, wellness check and everything functioning good except for being able to stand on her own. Vet gave her meds to help with the eye infection. She was super active jumping around in her sling trying to feed her this evening.

Re: Calf Born with Two Faces in Southwest Louisiana

Do they feed both heads or just the one on the right?

Re: Calf Born with Two Faces in Southwest Louisiana

Reminds me of my mother in law. She's a two-faced cow.

Re: Calf Born with Two Faces in Southwest Louisiana

I hope she learns to stand and walk. Can't imagine a bed ridden cow lasting very long.
