I've known Corey for ten years now, and I've often heard him speak fondly of his childhood memories of watching his dad work in his taxidermy studio in their basement. The most famous piece was a two headed calf, stuffed by request of the farmer who owned it, which was donated to the Eddy County Historical museum in New Rockford. This calf was quite a legend in my mind, and I was disappointed that the museum was closed during our last visit in September. But let me tell you something- it was worth the wait! Truly eerie, it's like an optical illusion. Second runner up in the creepy-taxidermy Olympics (no pun intended) were two lambs with extra limbs- one had six, the other just five. Uff da!
