[QUOTE="Katpau, post: 638581, member: 9933"] I have some older cows that are wider than this cow, even two months after they calve. some cows are just built that way. She could be carrying twins, but i couldn't tell from this picture. I have had 3 sets of twins in the last couple years, and only suspected one of them because of her width. One cow was so much thinner and narrower than the other cows that I thought maybe she was open until she began to bag. It is hard on them carrying twins and they will often loose condition. Your cow looks like a very well fed animal. I too hate twins. My cows calve out on pasture and I am seldom there. With two of the cows I lost one of the twins and with the third set ended up feeding one when the cow kept walking of and leaving the smaller twin who wasn't strong enough to keep up. [/QUOTE]
