New Delhi, April 20 : A Chinese farmer has much to complaint after her cow started to feed on its own milk, leaving her empty-handed.

Owner Guli Nisha, from Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, said the animal had found a unique way of being self-sufficient by turning its head around and drinking its own milk, reports the China Daily.

Guli revealed: "I do not know what caused the cow to drink its own milk, but I know I got no milk from it and had to spend some 30 yuan (4.40 dollars) to feed it."

Meanwhile, a livestock official was left baffled with the news, which was reported the first of its kind. (ANI)
