[QUOTE="cah, post: 984174, member: 6411"] 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 my daughter is a senior and this is her last year in 4-H. I have a neighbor that works at a feed supply store and can get my milk replacer with a discount, not a lot but every little bit helps. My Daughter does help out in feeding them both A lot and treats them both as little dogs. LOL, they will be nothing to halter break and a easy year of that. With that said, yea we may not make much of a profit if at all but I will cherish these memories with the time I am spending in the barn with my daughter. I look at it as I can't get this time back, we at least got two calfs that are alive and are cute as can be. :) I guess I just really wanted everyones input as to if the heifer will eventually make more milk. It has been a week. granted she had a rough couple of days and did not each much after the birth of the twins but now she is eating well. I know everyones opinion is different and I respect that. If the mother does not produce a calf and milk next year she will go to the sale barn. Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
