[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1720372, member: 16453"] They look pretty robust. I got 2 sets this year out of 36 cows. My strike rate is usually just 1 set every 3-4 years. Last summer was very good season wise however things were still tough when joining happened, both sets were to the cleanup bull. I think that there is some way that animals physiology/biology knows what is ahead season wise and these things happen accordingly, same reason that heifers out numbered bulls 2 to 1 this year also. I lost the heifer from the mixed set of twins but the two heifer twins are healthy but very small, I weighed and vaccinated my herd with 7in1 this morning and the total weight of the two heifers is only marginally above other calves born at the same time. It was the cows 2nd calving and she did a good job with her 1st calf but I would say was at the limit of her milking ability so no room for improvement feeding 2. Ken [/QUOTE]
