    twins look like dinks to be

    I had a cow have twins 8 weeks ago . She is in good condition , mothers both calves , and has a good bag . I have plenty of grass too . Calves are healthy but not muscled up and growing like good ones . Should I sell one of the calves, both calves, or give them time ? What would you do ?

    Help skin scabs all over 3wk calf

    Scurff type I'd say it will peel off easy , don't think insect or fly bites bc all the other calves and cattle are fine . The part that bothers me the most is the lethargic part ( I've got bad luck with those ) . I wasn't sure what to do so I gave it 6cc of nuflor subQ - will see it that helps
