The bizarre incident shocked the entire village with some locals saying it was a result of witchcraft.

"This is not normal, I have never seen such a thing in my entire life. It must be witchcraft," the owner of the cow who identified himself as Kiplagat exclaimed.

The cow's owner is now planning to sell it noting that he does not want to be associated with 'black power'.

"I have had this cow for 2 years but I will no longer keep it," he told some of the people who had gathered around to witness the rare spectacle.

Kiplagat's wife, however, said the state of the calf may be as a result of the fact that it was born prematurely.

"This cow was supposed to give birth at least in August," said Mary, the wife.

Biology reveals that all the early stages of infants of mammals are almost the same but with time, the infants evolve into their form.

Some of the area residents, however, said it was not the first time such an incident was being witnessed.

"This is not the first time I am seeing such thing. I saw a cow give birth to a human-like calf when I was a child but with time it changed into that of a cow," an elderly man who was among the crowd said.
