Tom Phillips - 9th December, 2009A calf with a cross-shaped sign has been born in rural Connecticut - and, naturally, is being hailed as a sign from above.
The calf was born last week at a dairy farm in Sterling, a small rustic town on the Connecticut/Rhode Island border.
Owner Brad Davis told local television station WFSB-TV that he thinks the marking may be a message from above. He did admit, however, that he's still trying to figure out what that message might be.
The mostly brown calf is half Jersey, half Holstein. Neighborhood children have named it Moses.
Ric Grummer, the chairman of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Dairy Science, told the Norwich Bulletin newspaper that it's not unusual for a Holstein cow to have a white marking on its head - although says that the cross shape is unique.
