[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 1542216, member: 13402"] Jeanne You are absolutely right! Our job is to make our herd better every year, our heifers should be better than their dam if they aren’t we better reconsider out breeding decisions. Another old cow #811 well not real old she is 10 had a set of twin heifers, I have considered flushing her several times but have decided to wait and flush a daughter. She got a shoulder injury last year so was planning to move her after weaning, then she goes and has twin heifers. Problem is she loves one and hates the other, we are putting her in the head catch twice a day and letting the one she hates nurse. Hopefully we will get her to at least tolerate the calf. My daughter in law had asked me at Thanksgiving if we had any twins this year I told her no and we probably wouldn’t since we only had three left to calve, I should have kept my dang mouth shut! When we found out 811 had twins Carla reminded me that we have had at least one set every year since the twin granddaughters were born. Prior to their arrival we rarely had a set but she’s right at least one set for the past 7 years. Gizmom [/QUOTE]
