Mar 13, 2015: A deformed cow with two heads has been sold to an abattoir for £270 ($400).

The double-faced bullock took centre stage at a cattle auction in North Queensland, Australia on Tuesday.

It has a normal head just like any other cow, but on top is another face, which has one eye, a single tooth and two working nostrils.

"There was a fair bit of curiosity and interest but I don’t know whether there was a lot of interest in a commercial sense.

"There’s nothing wrong with it as far as the animal is concerned."
