NILES, MICH. (RFD-TV) — A Michigan rancher is sharing the remarkable story of a cow that’s beating the odds. David Kroa of One Man Ranch says his Shorthorn cow, Trish, has done something most producers will never see: she has delivered twin calves three years in a row. Kroa joined us on Wednesday’s Market Day Report to share her story.
In his interview with RFD-TV News, Kroa explained Trish’s streak began in 2023 when she gave birth to twin bull calves. The following year, she delivered twin heifers sired by his Miniature Hereford bull — a bull that, he notes, can successfully breed a full-sized cow. Then, in November of this year, Trish surprised him yet again with another set of twins.
Kroa explains that this kind of consistency is extremely uncommon, making Trish’s story all the more noteworthy. He also shared background on his operation in Michigan, how long he has been farming, and how current cold conditions are shaping day-to-day work on the ranch. As winter approaches, he says he is focused on the usual seasonal tasks and caring for his herd.
Kroa hopes viewers take away the simple joy and encouragement that can come from moments like this — reminders of the unexpected and extraordinary things that can happen on family operations across the country.

The key to success when cooking ribs is the low temperature and several hours of cooking time. However, this beef primal cut also contains popular tender, juicy cuts of meat like Ribeye Roast and Ribeye Steaks.
The Round Primal is home to lean, inexpensive cuts from the rump and hind legs. The muscles in this area are used for movement, so the beef is leaner and less tender. These cuts are often sold as roasts, steaks for marinating, or even Ground Beef.
One skillet, five ingredients and a few minutes are all you need to get this spiced up hash on the table!
The Sirloin is home to popular fabricated cuts but is first separated into the Top Sirloin Butt and Bottom Sirloin Butt. In the Top Sirloin, you’ll find steaks great for grilling, while the Bottom Sirloin provides cuts like Tri-Tip and Sirloin Bavette, which are good for roasting or grilling.
The brisket comes from the cattle’s breast, so it can be tougher because it is used for movement. An ideal cut for cooking low and slow on the barbecue or in a slow-cooker.
