Good looking calves. Sounds like y'all have been busy. You have a nice setup for them to help with the bitter cold you have up that way.

Like seeing your cattle, it brings back memories. Been almost 30 years since last I've had any of those white calves.

Another pair this morning from a first calf heifer or should I say a first two calves heifer! Second was backward so we had to pull her. The first was a male.

Another set of twins today from an heifer, 2 males. Due date was February 7 so they are small but in great shape. We have 4 pairs right now fow 44 cows it's 9%.A bit too much but we will take them!
Congratulations! Nice save with the "two calves heifer." How did you know or what did you see that made you think something was wrong?

The heifer had the first by herself but he was very small so we go look in her and found backward legs so we didn't took a chance and pull him out asap. With twins you never know when the umbilical cord is broken.

Fifth pair, male-female. 86 calves right now. A cow put out a dead calf, must have broke his umbilical cord.Nearly no snow on the ground around here but a storm can arrive anytime!

Do you graft one of the twins over on a cow that had a dead calf? One good thing about having them in to calve like that; they are right there to work with...
Are you getting any of the snow that has headed up the east coast the last day or so? We got about 1 1/2 inches of rain out of it but it was supposed to drop a decent snow amount north of here... didn't know if it went that far inland to you or stayed more on the coast.

We didn't graft one this year we will cull the 2 cows.
We are far from the coast on a flat land. The farm is between Montreal and Quebec.

Beautiful cattle. Love seeing your cattle. Boy, you have been spitting them out - well ---- your cows have been spitting them out!!! Is this a high number of twins for you - or normal?

We had 8 pairs alive and 1 pair dead some years ago with 130 calving cows. I'm expecting 2 more pairs this year with the belly we see on the 33 calving cows who remains.
