OTTAWA - Kemptville-area farmer Jim Shaw couldn't believe his eyes when one of his prized Simmental cows gave birth to triplets.
Mr. Shaw has witnessed the births of many calves. But never three at once.
"It's extremely rare," said Mr. Shaw, a retired elementary school principal who has a farm in Hallville, about eight kilometres east of Kemptville. "I phoned the veterinarian and she said it was unheard-of."
