Recently, my friend Linda sent me a link to a photo of a calf born in Japan with a heart on its forehead. (The article called it an "ox", but it looks an awful lot like a plain old holstein calf to me, but oh well, I'm just a farmer's wife. What do I know?!)
Anyway, I knew I had seen hearts on our cows too so I went out to investigate... turns out, they are awfully common. This little girl is just a few days old.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Re. ox vs. cow - I think it's like in Chinese Astrology....they say 'boar', we say 'pig'. They say 'ox', we say 'cow/bull. Some say an ox is basically another name for a bull. Though in Asian culture the ox is bred as a more heavy-set animal and seen as beasts of burden....not as domestic.
That's really a great photo, even blown it's still sharp.
AWWWW, rare or not it sure gives you the warm fuzzies.
Oh, she is so pretty!
