A beef cattle farm north of Emo is site of a rare birth in the industry.

A cow gave birth to triplet calves Tuesday night on the farm owned by Wayne Flatt.

Flatt says there was no indication three were on the way after she gave birth to the first calf.

"I went back to the house and wait for an hour or so and I went out again and then I saw two calves out their," says Flatt. "I figured she was going to have two and then I looked around and there was another lump I could see in the distance and there was a third one."

Flatt says all three were born identical markings.
