Uni-Horn Holstein
 ✖  |
"I've been dairying for 60 years and I've never seen anything like this. The vet says it's nothing to worry about but that it's very rare," says Maurice Hooverson about one of his Holstein cows that's growing a single horn right in the middle of her forehead.
There was nothing abnormal about the 7-year-old Holstein milker named Elly May until about three years ago, says Hooverson. That's when the "uni-horn" first started to sprout.
At last report, the horn was about 6 in. long and 3 or 4 in. in dia.
Hooverson disagrees with his vet that the horn is probably the result of a poor de-horning job. He agrees with him on another score, though. "It really looks peculiar," Hooverson says.
