Australian farmer finds unique lamb in his flock

A wool farmer in Australia said a lamb from his family’s flock would now become a family pet due to an uncommon feature: an additional leg sprouting out of its head.

Sam Kuerschner of Orroroo, South Australia, claimed he was taking a break from shearing around three weeks ago when his father spotted something strange about one of the lambs in the pen.

Kuerschner told the media, “He had a bit of a second glance and said, ‘That sheep’s got five legs’. We all sort of stood up and had a bit of a look and sure enough it did.”

He described the extra leg as “extraordinary” because it emerges from the back of the animal’s head.

“It’s a fully formed leg. There’s bone and joints and it’s even got a sort of hoof on the end of it and seems to be attached to the sheep just through skin or flesh, rather than a bone joint,” he added.

According to Kuerschner, the leg resembles a mullet hairdo rather than a spare limb. He stated that after the sheep reaches a certain age, it would become a family pet.

On the other hand, a sheep farmer who was unable to attend his aunt’s funeral due to a lockdown in New South Wales has paid tribute to her memories, a love heart made of sheep.

Ben Jackson, from Guyra, was unable to travel to Brisbane to be with his aunt in her dying moments following a two-year battle with cancer that began at the outbreak.

Ben Jackson said he couldn’t travel from New South Wales to Brisbane to see his Aunt Debby during her final days of cancer treatment or attend her funeral, so he laid out the grain in the shape of a heart and released hundreds of sheep to form the heart, according to the media.
