Is one of your cow families producing all the twins? Or are the twins coming from unrelated lines? Maybe from a bull you've used on more than one cow family?
A trick commonly used with horses, and horsemen who raise cattle, is to go get some cheap perfume or cologne. We always use BRUT with horses. Cover both calves with it, and her nose. Then put them back on her. She won't be able to tell which is hers and which is the step-chjld.
I was just going to say simular to what @farmerjan just said!
And that $50 holstein would have made you money down the road at a cheaper selling price, with not having that much in it.... bet your friends would be glad to have it about now too!!!! LOL
We've been very fortunate in the moisture department. This area is actually completely out of the drought. Wheat is growing like crazy. And there ain't enough calves to graze it. People are buying thin cows to graze it, there's that much of a shortage of calves.

That big black heifer came straight off of a really really good cow. She was OLD and MEAN. They pulled her off in the ring. Didn't even let her finish her dinner!
Wanna double your money?
Wife once had 5 nurse cows but we could find a baby calf usually within a couple phone calls. No more. Can't find a nurse cow here either.Already picking out a name....
Shes younger than Bessie too!
We have a few I can part with!
