[QUOTE="Dusty Britches, post: 1801593, member: 1900"] I seem to have twins every year. I let the mommas raise them, too. As weanlings they might be a little smaller but the 2 together weigh 50% more than a calf raised as a single. As a side note, a few years ago I lost a 5 year old cow to tetanus, who was ironically born a twin on my birthday. And I'm a twin. Anyhoo, that cow had a 6 week old calf. I thought I'd bring that heifer calf into the pens and try to bottle feed her but she was so stressed and I was so busy, I turned her back out with the herd. That entire herd allowed her to nurse, even cows that would never allow another calf in the past allowed her to nurse. She was small when I sold her with the weanlings, but she was fine. I still have that momma cow's twin sister, too. For inquiring minds, I have Brangus cows. [/QUOTE]
