[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1477962, member: 968"] I just had a set yesterday morning. Both heifers, 1 dead 1 live. I rarely have a cow reject one or both. Have had a good success rate on live calves and cows have raised both. Last week a heifer had a hfr/steer set both alive and she is raising both. If I have a cow that ends up having a dead calf, I will pull one off the heifer & "try" to splice onto new mom. I HATE TWINS. I have definitely made money on them, but they CAN be a major problem. They like to get tangled up coming out. It is harder on the dam. I do put the dam in with the 2 & 3 year olds, so they have less competition at the hay feeder & I can watch a little closer. I have had two embryos spit with both being heifers. I had one cow calved in March with set of twins, next year Feb with twins, next year Jan with set of twins. She came up open after our 45 day 100% AI this past spring, so I slipped her into fall. She settled on 1st AI. She is 11 years old. [/QUOTE]
