[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1381012, member: 16453"] Sounds like a good result overall, they are big twins. Our spring calving has been over for a while, started late June and had a pretty tight calving period. I got 27 out of 28, lost one heifers calf that needed a hand but being by myself at night could not get her up to the yards for several hours and lost a nice heifer calf. I have been feeding the heifers a bit too much especially the last ones to calf so my new years resolution is not to feed heifers until after they calve. Don't know why they call it spring calving here, more like winter calving but it works well as they take off weight wise when the clover gets going in spring and they are old enough to utilise it.
