Born at the beginning of the week, the calf has three, perfectly working nostrils.
Charlotte Plozza, 14, noticed the calf while working on her family's Scotts Creek farm in south west Victoria and worker Kylie Savage was shocked.
"I've never seen one before," she said. "And everyone I've shown has said the same thing.
"She just has three and it's all fine, she breathes out of the nostril and everything."
Ms Savage said she didn't initially realise the calf's abnormality as she was busy with all the newborns, but now there's no missing the calf, who they've named Nostrils.
Reach Agribusiness owner Matt Makin said the three-nostril cow was a new phenomenon for him.
"In my 20 years of veterinary medicine and dealing with cattle, I have never seen a three-nostril calf born before," he said. "It's particularly uncommon.
"I assessed the calf and apart from the three nostrils, it is in perfect health so it appears to be an abnormal development or and act of nature."
Mr Makin said the calf could breathe perfectly through it's three nostrils and did not believe Nostrils would have problems from her abnormality in the future.
"It appears there are three cavities where air travels and those three nostrils join at the back of the throat," he said.
"In veterinary world we do occasionally see malformations in development while the calf is developing inside the mother and often these malformations are fatal.
"But luckily in this instance it's appears fine. It's all going well and I can't see any reason it won't grow into a healthy cow."
