[QUOTE="dun, post: 318230, member: 34"] High incidence of mixed gender calves, 90% or more of the time the heifer is sterile. Makes a huge drain on the cow raising them and contributes to failure to breed back for a 12 month calving interval. Too often there are calving difficulties leading to 1 dead calf, 2 dead calves, dead cow, or all 3. Frequently subsequent calves aren't as good as they would be if there hadn;t been twins born first. Unless you supplement the snot out of the cow, generally both calves are smaller at weaning. Other then that I don;t recall why I hate them so much, but there are probably other reasons. dun [/QUOTE]
