Two-faced calf RIP

Star, the two-faced calf born in December at a Virginia dairy farm, has died. From the Associated Press:

While he didn't want to put the calf on display while she was alive, (farmer Kirk) Heldreth shipped the body by truck Monday to an upstate New York taxidermist to prepare it for display in one of the Ripley's Believe It or Not museums.

Ripley's will pay for the shipping, but Heldreth said he wasn't asking for any other financial compensation.

"If I had wanted to do that, I would have sold her to the circus a long time ago," he said.
