Quad calves

Calves all born naturally and unassisted a few days ago. A review of the calving camera footage confirmed all four calves came from same cow.

All seem a fair size as well looking at the Whitebred? calf in the next pen. Great work!

I’ve never seen it before. Well done

They are looking well.
How much are you having to feed them...we have a spare bag of powder here if you want it. Unopened.

The Bcms computer will explode when you try and register those!

I am sure we can use it over the next few months! I restocked at Harbro yesterday along with additional bottle to speed up the process and reduce the competition for the first bottle. The mother lets them suck but I am letting her out of the pen for a while to give her peace

Yes, have been wondering about that, tags are going to be a bit big for them for a while!

The red and white one is a fair size bull calf, the three fairly identical brown and white ones are all heifers which are small but are fairly bouncing around now. There was a lot of calf in one cow.

Very rare, especially to all be alive. Around 1 in 11 million.
We had triplets a few years ago and some doubters thought she had stolen a calf but I was there to help her. She reared them all with supplements and they made £1800 a year later so a great return
