[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10057"] That’s what I figured you’d say and I don’t have a convincing answer against it. It seems like you could make a good argument on either side, to keep or not to keep. Of course, lots of things look good on paper… Ours twins are doing great but it’s taking a toll on the cow – she was sleek when she dropped them but now she might pass for a breaker. We stole her out of the ring, 4 years old and bred 6 or 7 months. Maybe she twinned before and the seller didn’t like it. It will be interesting to see how she bounces back when we take them off her. That will be a big part of the answer for me and I suspect she’ll take a one way trip to town. But on the other hand, these two calves will way more than pay for her. In reading your response it’s obvious yours has twinned at least once before. Have you ever run the numbers to compare her performance against the average per-head revenue on your herd?
