This is a story from one of the news papers from lincoln, One of Keith Bohling's cows gave birth to three identical male calves early Sunday in Johnson. "God was looking out for the cow and the kids. She was one of the cows penned in the barn that night and didn't lose any of them," Bohling said. He said that he went out there around 10 that night and seen the cow was calving, then when he got the first one out, he seen there was another. Then after getting the second one out he thought he was done. Well the next morning he walked down to the pen and there was another laying beside the cow. So the cow had three baldy calves and they were all alive and doing well.

We had triplets about three years ago out of a 3 year-old angus, all three lived and so did the mother.

There was a couple over by Mountain View that had a Yellow-cross cow who Twinned every year, and, raised them.

It takes a pretty good cow to raise two and then breed back on time.

This cow did, for a good many years. There was talk about the "Guiness Book", but, I don't know if that ever came to be.

Whats the chances of identical triplets ?

We lost a set of triplets this year. Hannibal/Heat Seeker. Two bulls, and a heifer. She aborted three months early, and the combined weight of the three was already 100lbs. She never could have carried them full term

We had a cow that was 10 and had triplets. One was still born but the other 2 lived, they were small, and so did momma. It was the year we bought her.
