[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1620438, member: 18809"] No. Lost a complete set (tangled up, could not get to them fast enough, both heifers), the "half calf" above, an embryo split we lost one (heifers, second calf had her head stuck behind the pelvis, but both front legs coming. Did not find cow until afternoon, first calf was already dry and had sucked, so cow had calved earlier in the day), the other three sets all same sex (two bull sets - one the result of an embryo splitting, one heifer set) and born alive. This was a great set: [url=https://postimg.cc/V5MdGx3q][img]https://i.postimg.cc/V5MdGx3q/bankroll-twins.jpg[/img][/url] Bankroll x GCF Caliente. Split embryos, second split set for us this year. Superbowl Sunday, cow was laborish, so I put her in the barn to watch her close (did not want to go searching in the field in the dark during the game). Checked her at half time, had one leg and a head. Fishing around, kept finding a hock and not the other front leg. She got up, which shifted the calf forward so I could push it in and find the other front leg. Pulled it pretty quick. I got out of the pen, and was looking at her mothering up while thinking about getting back to the game. Something in me said to check her for a twin (even though it was an embryo and most unlikely). Found a second set of legs (explains the hock I found while looking for a front leg). Pulled that one out too. they were a half pound different in weight (66 and 66.5 IIRC).
