[QUOTE="FlyingLSimmentals, post: 1059635, member: 16752"] That's really sad and depressing firesweep, sorry for your loss. I've been in that situation before and it can be heart throbbing. We've lost sets of twins and it's really sad seeing mom beg her calves to get up and you knowing that isn't gonna happen. The cow who've had our last twins, 2 sets back to back both bulls each time were breached as well. Luckily we saved those four dudes, I think both situations we had to get the first one out and she was able to then have the 2nd each time. Like I have said before I hate twins and the problems they cause even though they are cute and a joy to watch. Some twinning are successful and come with ease but most are pains for us at least. Nothing is worse than having breached calves, had a young really nice eye appealing cow 2-3 years ago that her calf breached and the vet had to pull it. The bull calf made it fine, but the cow had got her uterus ripped or torn. We kept her pumped full of medicine from the vet hoping she would recover. She had claimed her calf and wanted to take care of it and did nurse it. We would help feed the calf and take care of it with her but she just got worse day after day until she was gone. It was really sad seeing baby trying to get momma up, after she had gotten to sick to help him. From then on he was solely ours to take care of, I will say baby helped momma fight as long as she could. Really miss that female she was becoming one of our best in the commercial herd. So like I said I know how sad and tough that day was for you all. Wishing you luck for a success story the next go around. [/QUOTE]
