This is in response to my post about my cow having twins.
If I am able to get the cow to accept both I know she will need extra attention in order to raise the calves properly.
If i give the cow extra feed, plus good grass, mineral, and salt, would she be able to raise the calves to a normal size and breed back?
The cow would not be going with the bull until October.
Once the calves were old enough they can eat the feed as well. The bull calf would most likely be sold as a herd bull prospect and the heifer for beef so extra conditioning would not hurt either when it was time to sell them.
