[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 625992, member: 968"] Yes, "SOMETIMES" twins work out to your advantage. I have had several heifer pairs of twins the last few years, that the dam raised both & made real good money on 1 out of each pair & the other one is in the herd, producing calves the same age as their contemporaries. BUT! - so much can and does go wrong. We all know the drill - early abortions, early calving catching you unprepared, tangled up messes that can take forever to get out only to have both dead, cow doesn't clean, infection, late breeding, BCS, etc, etc. I STILL HATE TWINS. Occasionally, you can benefit with them, but I would just as soon never have any. Of course, that's not going to happen with Simmental - fertle myrtles! [/QUOTE]
