Udderly Amazing: Cow Gives Birth To 4 Healthy Calves In Southeast Saskatchewan

The Canadian Press, 09 Mar, 2016 11:07 AM
    ALIDA, Sask. — There's good moos on a farm in southeastern Saskatchewan where a five-year-old cow has given birth to four healthy calves.
     
    The calves — two boys and two girls weighing about 23 kilograms each — were born Friday on the farm near Alida.
     
    Calvin Lamport and his son Layne helped with the birth, which went  relatively quickly.
     
    After the first two calves were born, Calvin Lamport noticed a third  one coming and pulled it out as well.
     
    The fourth calf was born about 30 minutes later unassisted.
     
    The mother and her babies are all doing fine, although some additional help has been called in.
     
    “They are sucking on that cow and we also got a nurse Holstein cow," Layne Lamport said. "All four calves are sucking both cows and they are all looking real good.”
     
    The Charolais mother has a history of multiple births.
     
    “For the last two years in a row, she had twins. We were kind of expecting her to have twins again this year, but we definitely weren’t expecting that she was going to have four.”
