BETHALTO, Ill. (KSDK/CNN) - A cow on a farm outside of Saint Louis, Missouri, recently gave birth to triplets. And they're all female.
Cattle experts say triplets are rare, about one in every 105,000 births.
The chances they'll be born alive are 25 percent. And the odds of triplets of the same sex are one out of every 700,000.
The family farm reports the mother and her heifers are doing well.
