We had 2 sets of twins this year. The first was to an old cow with a huge udder. The twins are doing great. The second set of twins that we had about a week ago were to a heifer and they were pretty small. So we've been supplemental feeding them 1/2 milk-replacer and 1/2 goats milk. They really took to the bottles and but they also nurse from the cow. These are black angus calves and weigh probably around 45 - 50lbs each. One has slight scours but the scours aren't terrible. Neither looks dehydrated. They are a little on the inactive side compared to "normal" calves but not really that noticeable. Looking for any suggestions, advice or comments. Would you pull the calves away, stop bottle feeding, treat them like bucket calves, increase their bottle feeding amounts at regular intervals etc?
Thanks
