The Perfect Valentine Bull

He's just two weeks old but Ha-chan the bull is already a celebrity in Japan.

Hundreds of people have been flocking to see the almost perfect heart-shaped pattern on his forehead.

[Kazunori Yamasaki, Dairy Farm Owner]:
    "We may have seen similar patterns on other bodies but it's unprecedented for an exact heart shape to appear on the forehead."

Kazunori Yamasaki owns the dairy farm where Ha-chan was born.

He hopes someone will buy him as a romantic gift for Valentine's Day.

Otherwise he says his days are numbered.

[Kazunori Yamasaki, Dairy Farm Owner]:
    "This is a baby bull, a male calf, so we can't keep him at this farm. We hope some tourism farm or a zoo will volunteer to take care of him. That'd be the best way to make him happy."

Ha-chan - which means heart - won't have to go to the slaughter house quite yet.

Young bulls are normally sold for meat at the age of two

But if a new owner isn't found before then even cupid will find it hard to protect him.
