Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine researchers said they might have the world's smallest cow. 'LilBill' which was taken to the university, weighed only 10 pounds at birth. This is almost 1/10th of a normal birth weight for cows which is 100 pounds on an average. Veterinarians are working on this case to find why the calf born is too small. The little creature was having respiratory problems and was presented by its owner to save its life. Dr. Grissett and her team are looking forward to DNA test the calf as it might be a case of dwarfism in addition to being premature.
According to university sources, 'LilBill' was born on Oct. 27, 2018 and is 1 month premature. Here you can see a couple pictures of this little baby.
