WASHINGTON — Eeny, Meeny, Miny and Moo are a rarity. A heifer in Texas gave birth to the four live calves Monday.
Their mom is described by owner Dora Rumsey-Barling is “just a run of the mill red cow.”
Rumsey-Barling and her husband Jimmy didn’t even know the cow was due.
When they spotted buzzards circling their property, they headed to the area about 500 yards from the house and found the surprise. Three calves had been born, and the fourth was on the way.
The four include three bulls and a heifer.
The odd of a cow having quadruplets are 1:700,000. The odds of having all four calves born alive are 1:11.2 million, according to Veterinary Obstetrics and Genital Diseases.
