Triplets!

In Spring of 2007, we were blessed with a rare occurrence. One of our fine cows gave birth to triplets.
While Jack was lucky enough to come upon the new little family shortly after she gave birth, keeping track of those three little calves became a daily adventure for us over the next week. That momma cow was determined to hide those babies out of harms way. Meaning humans. Concerned for their well-being we would search the woods, swamp and field of the pasture they were contained in to make sure they were healthy. After a week of frustration including one angry mama cow and lots of scratches and mosquito bites, we decided that perhaps we should let nature take its course, for us interfering with the mama cow's mothering was the only problems these four were having.
Nicole our 14 year old daughter decided a few months later that we HAD to take the little family to the fair. Luckily for us, the momma cow had visited the fair as a heifer under Alyson's reign and getting her ready was a breeze. The triplets on the other hand were a handful. The little boy was certain he was not made for such nonsense as a halter. The heifers were a bit easier to work with, but separating one triplet from the other two we quickly found out, upset them all. While certainly not the best leading calves that we've ever taken to the fair, their rarity made them popular and it was definitely worth the effort.
