Rare Heifer Triplets Born at Mountain Dairy in Storrs — An 8 Million-to-1 Shot

STORRS, CT — The owners of Mountain Dairy watched in awe over the weekend as heifer triplets were born, something they said carries odds of just once in 8 million births.

The girls, born Saturday, are doing well, farm owners said.

The owners also said they are taking name suggestions either via social media or by leaving a note at the Stearns Road farm.

The Stearns Family Farm has been in operation since 1772, when Boaz and Lydia Stearns settled into the area to raise mulberries for the silk industry. The family made the switch to dairy products in 1871. Milk is sold under the Mountain Dairy label.
