Welcome to Ish, Jean. Sorry, my French isn't good enough to read much of your site. It would be lovely if you could tell us more about yourself here.

How the heck did she have 5??? Was she AI'ed???

Will they be sterile like freemartins??

Why would you want a cow to have 5???? :scratch: It's not natural it it?? :?

For those of you who don't read French:
The cow was normally and entirely naturally 'serviced' by the resident bull and has not received any hormonal or other treatment at all. She was the mother of twins three times before and managed this extraordinary feat all on her own.

So, no intention to twist nature into unnatural achievements.

I wish mom and calves all the best :iconbiggrin:

I had to look up freemartins! All these calves are male.
