A five-legged cow has been hailed a miracle because when pregnant women touch its fifth hoof they give birth to baby boys.
Raj Pratap's three-year-old male calf,
called Raju, has become famous in Raipur, India, since a woman with four
daughters touched the animal's fifth hoof an begged for her next child
to be a boy.
When
she gave birth to a twin boys in February this year, word soon spread
that the calf's fifth leg - a very rare condition which affects just one
in every five million cows - was 'lucky'.
Since
news got out about the fifth leg, Mr Pratap, a cattle herder, has been
swamped by pregnant women who pay to touch the hoof - with 30 women so
far stumping up around 500 rupees, around £5, for the privilege.
Amazingly,
all 30 women have given birth to boys and Mr Pratap is so confident of
his 'miracle calf' that he offers refunds if the baby born is a girl.
This
week, on Monday (Dec 23) the cow celebrated its 33rd baby boy after a
woman who touched its 'magical hoof' gave birth to triplets....all of
them boys
