Triplets It’s not that unusual for a cow to have twin calves, but triplets are extremely rare. Odds about one in 100,000. Now, the same ranch in southern Saskatchewan has beat those numbers, twice. The Saskatchewan ranch is home now to two brand new sets of triplets, born just a few days apart.
Ralph, Kelly and Matt Oberle’s cow-calf operation, just north of the Montana border, expects to have about 1,400 births in a typical calving season, but this season has seen a small uptick in numbers. The first set of triplets was born late last week. Grandfather Ralph Oberle says that first set was also the first triple-birth for the farm.
