[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1398413, member: 18809"] I have a cow that has had and raised three sets of twins! Always the same sex. We just gave her extra supplement (DDG's are cheap and work well here). She always weaned them off in the upper 500 to 600 pound each! And AI bred right back. Heifer set [img]http://i61.tinypic.com/8z1v2g.jpg[/img] Another set the year before [img]http://i57.tinypic.com/2n158ur.jpg[/img] Her red bull set [img]http://i66.tinypic.com/34xi16x.jpg[/img] And right after they were born [img]http://i63.tinypic.com/73nhud.jpg[/img] Sad thing is, after her third set, we decided to put an embryo in her to give her a year off, so to speak. That embryo calf was born premature this late August, and dead. So she did not get to raise a calf this year. I sent her to KY, and she was AI bred by MargonMe and stuck her first attempt. She is due September, and I told Ron if she had twins again I was going to be ticked at him! lol BTW, the heifer set pictured above have both calved this year, both had singles. I see no reason to not keep them. They breeder I bought the cow from said no cows from that family have ever twinned, so it is not a genetic factor. [/QUOTE]
