A cow in Pingluo County in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region gave birth to four calves on Sunday. Three of the newborn calves are female and they are all in good condition.
The owner Guo Xeufeng, who is known as a skilled cow breeder in the county said: “It is the first time I have seen so many calves born from a cow at one time.”
Even though very rare quadruplets in cows are not unknown, a cow in Nanjing did it in 2003, a Canadian cow did it in August this year but the world record is actually 5 calves and is set by a cow in Mexico in March 2005.
That is the official Guinness World Record.
Animal experts said cows generally give birth to one calf and the probability of producing twins is only 2 percent to 4 percent. It is extremely rare that three calves are born at one time and the probability of quadruplets is much lower.
