[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 1121035, member: 5106"] We could only get some of the first one cut out without damaging the cow , she aborted the remains that evening and I was able to pull the second twin . It was actually pulling and breaking more than cutting as there was not really very much room to work around in. Remember this is outside in -40 weather , nothing goes as it should . :( I thought that she might have a chance with infusing her and all of the meds we gave her . It was just too much for her with the cold weather and how stressful it was to pull and cut the first twin out even though we blocked her . The first twin had his head all the way back so only the neck was there and both legs tucked underneath and the second was upside down underneath him . Just the worst presentation you could have . I messed up with her time frame . First year gave me a bull calf , then twins and twins again . Who the heck would think that you would raise 600 lb twins by yourself and rebreed on time actually earlier and have twins again . This year twins are not on my like list ;-) I should add my LA vet was out of town , and had he been here things would have gone much differently . [/QUOTE]
