The cows owners do not want to be identified.

This sounds like there should have been a twin born but they didn’t separate when they were being formed.
As long as the cow is not suffering with any kind of pain at all let him live as long as he can but as soon as there is any kind of suffering with this animal put him down but that is the way I feel.
MAY GOD BLESS ALL OF HIS CREATURES BIG OR SMALL NOW AND FOR ALL TIME AS I AM SURE HE WILL AND IS!!!
