Too Rare

by Clyde Always

“An Aberdeen Angus cow… was born with an extra leg growing from his forehead,
which saved him from going to the slaughterhouse.”
PetHelpful

Boeuffity-hoofity!
Aberdeen Anguses,
bred for their flesh on which
gladly we sup,

envy their fellow whose
cephalomelia
spared him from slaughter (he
had a leg up).
