[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 925092, member: 1258"] Just in answer to the original post which may be old now - not sure forgot to check date. Anyhow, we've always expected our cows that have twins to breed back and rarely give them any extra food - unless it is a patch job and she takes a twin for us that wasn't born to her. We have one cow that is now 7 and has had twins 4 times (never with a problem). Never had to feed her extra and she breeds back for first heat every time. As far as keeping a twin as a bull - if he is a great bull do it. We've used a twin as a bull - a fantastic bull and sold a twin as a bull. Not sure if your breed does it - for the Red Angus up here it states right on the papers that it is a twin. [/QUOTE]
