[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1720436, member: 24027"] The longer mama & her chosen twin are apart from the rejected one in your barn, the harder it will be for her to accept it. I'd get her in - yesterday. I've never had a happy reunion. When I got mama & her fave to the barn on my last set of twins, she knocked her rejected calf around so hard I had to separate them. Persistent little bugger somehow made it through the panels during the night & was with her & his twin when I found them in the morning. She eventually succumbed to taking care of him but would NOT let him nurse. After 10 days, I finally let them join the herd and I had a bottle calf that would come running as soon as he heard my Polaris. Fast forward a month and another cow adopted the rejected twin and raised him with her own. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
