I'm well, thanks for asking.

It's not common in that it happens regularly on the one farm, but it's one of those things that happens from time to time. No more than a person having a third nipple or an extra finger.

I've never come across it. It's extremely rare

It's called Bovine Athelia

She will be for the burgers and not the dairy.
