Calf marked with the sign of the cross

A farmer in Connecticut sees the white cross-shaped marking on his young cow's head as "... maybe a message from up above. I'm not sure. We're still trying to figure that out." I wonder if he's maybe trying to avoid saying something really stupid like "God marked a cross on my cow's head," while still keeping options open to sell the cow for a lot of money to religious nutcases.

The WFSB coverage contains this mysterious paragraph:

Megan Johnson of Sterling said, "Well I wasn't surprised. I wasn't surprised at all because the dairy industry has needed a miracle for a long time and this is it. I think it's divine intervention, personally. I'm in the breeding business and I know about reproduction and genetics and I don't think this could happen again in a million cows."

It's mysterious to me because, who the heck is Megan Johnson and why are you quoting him? The article doesn't say.

Well, I did graduate work in zoology, and this is not all that complex to explain. A somatic mutation in one stem cell during embryonic growth could do it, Mr. Johnson. And surely God could draw a neater, less fingerpaint-looking cross if He wanted to?
