Is This The Most Irish Thing That Has Ever Happened?
Dawn broke on Sunday morning to a 'miracle' in Ennistymon, County Clare. Mr. Clair, a local farmer, was delighted to find that his pregnant heffer gave birth to not two calves but four - a rarity for many farmers with a one in 180 million chance of it happening. The Irish farmer's identical cows are called Rosie, Fluffie, Mia and Jenny.

Irish farmers love their livestock. Mr. Clair told the Independent.ie that "(i)t is like winning the Lotto, but you know what, I wouldn't swap these calves for anything you could win in the Lotto...This is incredible. It was like scenes from an All-Ireland win yesterday with the amount of cars coming up to the farm full of people looking to see the calves.". Ah jaysus!
