What’s your diagnosis of this ultrasound? Read below to find out.
This is the third set of triplets I have found in the past month. Roughly 1 in 10,000 pregnancies in cattle results in triplets; unfortunately pregnancy loss is high in these cases and I would venture a guess that 1 in 10 of those triplet pregnancies will make it to term.
Triplets (and twins) are often found in late fall and early winter due to summer heat stress causing anestrus (when cows do not show regular heats). This period of low progesterone will often result in multiple ovulations once the heat is gone.
This pregnancy is roughly 42 days since breeding.
