[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10058"] We gave this subject a lot of thought before breeding season. There are herds that have selected for twins and still don't get the majority of twins each year. She really surprised us, she raised both calves and still remained in good enough condition that she was cycling. While I was breeding her my wife kept telling her only one, ONLY ONE. When we preg check this fall we will make a point of checking her for twins, If she has twins we'll find one of tha places that is looking to buy twinners. If she has a single, we'll feed her a little extra this winter to get her in better condition for spring calving. She is one of our F1 Red Angus X Gelbvieh so I have extras interest in keeping her. She always looks like she's dried off becasue of the drain she has had, she has milk and plenty of it, but I think part of the reason is because the "Snack Masters" have found that when she's out of milk, they can always find someone feeding a valf that doesn't notice an extra coming over for a snack. Time will tell. When we tagged calves we tagged her heifer in the right ear so she3 just goes with the rest of the boys come sale time. dunmovin farms > Hey Dun… > I ask this knowing your opinion of > twins – a beautiful sight as long > as they’re not on your place.
