Thank you all for your input and concern. The twins will be feeder calfs for my daughters 4-H project, maybe I should have said from the get go that we raise club calves, both twins are very nice and I don't think I will have any trouble selling either of them in 9-10 mts. BUT with that said...

Hello everyone.. I posted about a heifer having twins last week. We are now bottle feeding both of them. The mother is doing the best she can in mothering both of them. He milk bag is just not real big, we are feeding her a lot of grain and hay. She did not hardly eat anything for about two...

We are bottle feeding along with them nursing. Momma does not have a lot of milk but lets them both suck. Vet thinks now that she is eating she should make more milk. So for now we are offering bottle twice a day of two qts per feeding. They are heifers, one concern i do have is i noticed...

Is it possible for a cow that had a baby calve 4 weeks early to still be carring another calve (twin) we had a cow have a baby last week, the baby was 4 weeks early ... did not make it... BUT the momma still looks huge~ we just noticed it yesterday that she still looks like she has a calve in...

Heifer was standing during pull..she went down when calve came out... but went out late last night and she was up! so going to ck her this morning and see how she is feeling... probably give her a shot of banimane as requested by the vet and turn her out to green pasture to rest. bummer we...

finally got heifer pinned... it was NOT easy.... anyway.. vet came out and the calve did not make it... he said calve was slightly tilted and did not enter the birth canal like it should have. he estimated she was probably in laber yesterday some and the calve just did not enter properly. It...

Thanks for the infor.... I guess I was getting tired...

We have a cow that is due any day... the thing is she has been "looking" like she should have went weeks ago... she is soft in the back area and to me it looks like the calve could walk out... BUT she is showing no water bag or labor... she is staying with the rest of the herd and eating and...

Larry I could not agree with you more... our vet did give him some penicillin and said he would ck on him in 10 days. I didn't watch him do the castration so I don't know what he used for sure.... I am thinking maybe next year we will just band and get it over with. :)
