Mooove on over, Cupid: Make way for J.J. Valentine the cow.
The black bull calf with an almost perfect white heart shape on his forehead was born Friday on a rural Kane County farm to mixed Belgian-Angus cow named Whitey.
Farmer Tim Metz named the calf J.J. Valentine in honor of the holiday and the first names of a couple friends who were present at the birth, which took place at Metz’s and Jerry Hresil’s 80-acre Neverland Farm near the town of Lily Lake.
“I noticed the heart shape when he was born,” Metz said. “The shape became more pronounced” a few days later.
By Monday, the heart shape — approximately four inches by three inches — stuck out to anybody coming face to face with J.J.
