I have seen two in the last twenty years here in Montana. One was acquired by a taxidermist friend of mine. He mounted it and sold it to a museum. The other one was mentioned on the news or in local paper about a year later. Some times rancher just don't say anyting about it.

Especially if it looks like family.
 

We had a two headed calf born on the farm where I grew up, sadly it was stillborn.

We were never quite sure what caused it. Daddy found a small patch of tansy ragwort when he walked the fields after it was born and the following year the neighbor's bull we had borrowed fathered 2 sets of twins. Could have been either.
