Calving season got off to a great start on the farm on Pat Joe O'Suilleabháin this week, with the birth of triplet calves.
The three calves (two bulls and one heifer) were delivered on Thursday and are in good health.
"They are good, a bit on the light side though," Pat Joe told the Farmers Journal. "The cow is a bit shook but she's not too bad.
"She was scanned for twins but we didn't expect triplets," he added. "I'm farming a long time and I've never seen triplets calves before."
Local vet, Brendan O'Connell, told Pat Joe it is the first freisan triplet birth he has witnessed in his 30 years.
"The vet was surprised she carried three," he said. "It was unique to him anyway. I'm not expecting any more triplets anyway."
