RARE COW IS A SIXY BEAST
Monks in Cambodia have been knocked for six by an unusual present - a cow with two extra legs.
The farmer who donated the bovine rarity feared her extra set of pins would bring him, bad luck.
Two-month-old Cham Leck, which means "Strange" in the Khmer language, is being cared for by monks at the pagoda near the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh.
As well as her standard four legs, Cham has two extras hanging from her neck.
Some locals in the heavily superstitious country have been treating the calf with some caution.
One said: "She looks so calm and peaceful that after a while you forget she has six legs.
"Then you raise your head and see these two extra hooves on the end of these spindly legs coming out of her neck."

While our kids can't get healthcare, they will invite the cow and it's owner and family over here for corrective surgery.
When they get back home (if the ever leave) they will eat the cow and hate America.

Yeah, but do they work?From the looks of it, no. Which make them pretty useless for anything except stock. No osso bucco there.
Although, the monks probably don't see hundreds of lbs of usable meat when they look at the critter. ;>)

How odd. I was lucky enough to see twin calves born at the County fair this week, so cute, and I was there as they each rose and took their first wobbly steps, but this is really a trip to see I imagine. The two extra legs will most likely be removed.

Thanks for the ping! :-)

LOL, I doubt if the two extra limbs will be removed. Exhibiting those gams will be a leg up to great fortune for this Cambodian guy. A real stroke of luck for him and the gawkers of the world.
Remember what P.T.Barnum said.........

Big deal. I saw one just like it, but different breed of cow, at the state fair in Little Rock, Ar. in 1969.
I have also had a six legged chicken many years ago.
Nothing new.
