Hapcheon Hanwoo Farm, Mother Cow Gives Birth to 5 Calves in 2 Years

Mother Cow Gives Birth to Twins Again After One Year

In Ungok-ri, Ssangbaek-myeon, Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam, Lee Sun-ho, the village chief and owner of a Korean beef farm, has become a topic of interest as a mother cow that previously gave birth to triplets has now given birth to twins again.

On June 8 last year, three female calves were born at once, attracting media attention. One year later, the mother cow that gave birth to triplets has now given birth to twins again.

The triplets born last year weighed between 15 kg and 17 kg at birth, which was fragile compared to the national average birth weight of calves at 25 kg, raising concerns about their survival. However, thanks to Lee’s dedicated artificial nursing and care, they have grown healthily and are preparing to become mother cows.

The twins born this time, unlike the triplets born last year, were born healthy with a birth weight of 25 kg, similar to the average calf weight. Currently, they are feeding well on their mother’s milk, and it is expected that they will grow well alongside their older triplet sisters.

It is rare for triplets to be born, and Lee, who has successfully raised twins consecutively without any deaths, is known in the local community as a master of Korean beef farming.

Lee said, “I will raise the twins with the same devotion as the triplets,” and added, “I hope that Korean beef farmers, who are facing difficulties due to falling beef prices, will receive the energy of the twins and be filled only with good things.”
