[QUOTE="Cucumber35, post: 1398698, member: 25728"] Had one set of twin bulls last year, mama did her best to raise both but when it got a little dry and the grass slowed down they pulled her down hard. Had to pull her away from them a little early and put her on some good hay and a little grain to get her back in condition. Both calves ended up being dinks in my book. They finally started growing after being on grain for awhile but it seemed to take forever and they were pretty far behind the rest of the group when they got shipped. Just had another set of twins a couple weeks ago out of a different cow. Heifer and a bull, mama partially cleaned off the bull but then walked away with the heifer and never looked back. Bull calf is now in the barn on a bottle. As much of a pain as it is I think it's probably better off that way. Had a cow lose a calf a couple days later and thought I could graft the bottle calf on her but I couldn't get her in so there went that idea. [/QUOTE]
