[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1051113, member: 18809"] Glad to hear it worked. We have only ever had two sets, and the second set the dam raised them both (we did not have an extra cow around). The funny thing, the cow that raised her own set of twins is the one that raised the extra twin the year before (because her calf got killed by being squished against the bale ring at night). So it turned out pretty great; she raised a calf when she lost her own, then gave us two the next year! They are the red bulls I have pictured several times. Anyway, there is also a product out there called O No More, or something like that (O No Mo? - O meaning orphan). It is said to be a miracle worker, it is a powder that you sprinkle on the calf and the cow will immediately accept it. I have heard nothing but great reviews about, but have not had the opportunity to use it. I have been told you should keep a packet of it in your vet box, or supplies, and that way you will have it when you need it. Just for future reference! Went and found the stuff: [url=http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=30e07967-7b6a-11d5-a192-00b0d0204ae5]http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html ... b0d0204ae5[/url] [/QUOTE]
