Here's a Welsh special calf. Seems it's actually a bull.
Three-eyed cow from North Wales rehomed in sanctuary and named after Hindu god

She had been TB-testing cattle at the Gwynedd farm when she saw the calf's strange appearance.
Reports of the discovery were noticed by animal welfare charity, Jain Animal Charity, which then pledged to purchase the cow.
The charity purchased the cow for £5,000 after weeks of negotiations with its previous owner, reports LeicestershireLive.
Nitin Mehta, who founded the Jain Animal Sanctuary said: "Because the cow had three eyes we thought he was special and we wanted to rescue him because like all of these animals, he would have ended up being slaughtered eventually."
The calf has now been rehomed at a sanctuary called Goshalla in Leicester.
