Two-Headed Goat Born in Wisconsin

By Tim Binnall

A family farm in Wisconsin has a wondrous addition to their livestock collection in the form of a two-headed goat that eats with both of its mouths. The remarkable creature was reportedly born last week at Nueske Farms in the village of Wittenberg. Jocelyn Nueske discovered the two-headed kid when one of the farm's goats was giving birth and experiencing what seemed to be a particularly difficult delivery.

"I couldn't figure out what was going on at first," she recalled, "it took me a little bit to realize that the two heads were connected." The family subsequently decided to keep the creature as a pet, naming him Janus after the two-faced Roman god. Although they were concerned about the animal's prospects for survival, the goat has seemingly thrived so far and even feeds out of a bottle with both mouths.

Janus has also become something of a star on social media as the Nueske Farms has posted a bevy of pictures and videos of the two-headed creature on their Facebook page since it arrived into this world. According to them, an examination of the animal by a local veterinarian on Monday determined that he is a "normal baby goat" aside from his two heads and that he "appears to have one stomach and singular major organs."
