BELOIT, Wis (WSAU)   Beloit Police were investigating a domestic disturbance at a couple’s home when they found something really strange in the basement – a malnourished calf.

The woman called police on Sunday, and said her husband had beaten her. Police said the husband was upset that the calf was not being fed properly.

Both the husband and wife were cited for illegally keeping livestock in the city of Beloit. City inspectors deemed the house uninhabitable. The calf was sent to the U-W Veterinary Hospital in Madison, and was later transferred to an animal shelter.
