Odds continue to be defied at farms across the north west.

Following the birth of triplet calves in north Leitrim in mid-March, one south Donegal farmer has achieved his own remarkable story.

The Crawford brothers, based in Dowra welcomed triplet calves to their farm on March 16th.

The odds of having three calves of the same sex is a 1 in 400,000 chance.

However, Peter McGee, a sheep farmer based between Ballintra and Laghey welcomed sextuplet lambs born to two separate ewes in recent days.

Speaking to Ocean FM, Peter recounted the surprise at the possibility of sextuplet lambs being born on his farm.
