Rio’s Triplets

Churchill County High School junior Rio Segura, 17, was recently part of an extremely rare event. One of his Black Angus cows gave birth to triplets in January, and all three calves were male. According to veterinary and agricultural sources, the odds of a cow giving birth to triplets are approximately one in 100,000 to 105,000. For all three to be bull calves, the probability is lower, about one in 800,000. According to the Segura family, the cow and her bull calves are healthy and doing well.
