According to the Telegrap, the black-and-white Holstein calf was named Happy (English means "happy") because the black fur formed a striking smiley face against the white fur. Happy was born in mid-March on a farm near the town of Ripplebrook, in the state of Victoria, Australia.
Barry Coster, Happy's owner, first noticed this characteristic of the calf when he was inspecting his farm.
Happy is a special case in this year's mating. In the future, this calf will be kept as a pet due to its amusing characteristics that have spared it from being sent to the slaughterhouse.
"The calf has two equally sized black spots on either side that look like eyes, a small spot in the middle that looks like a nose, and a long, curved streak that looks like a smiling mouth.
Coster cleverly named the calf Happy because of its cheerful appearance, making many people excited to see it with their own eyes."
"Some of the farmers on the ranch are very keen to adopt Happy as a pet and give him the job of grazing on their premises," Megan Koster told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
However, the calf's owner decided to sell it to Farm World for $6,652, with the proceeds going to a hospital. At its new home, the calf will be raised at Ladner Park in Victoria and will become Farm World's trademark image.
