my black angus cow delivered a twin last friday during night time. the cow was smart to leave the calves in the barn; whereas, the other four cows had their calves in the pastures. this cow was smart to keep the calves in the pen near to the manger, while the mother could eat as much hay to maintain her bcs throughout the day. i know that the twin will lower and drain her bcs if she does eat much. her bcs while pregnant was about 6 and her weight was about 1300. currently, i am feeding about 7 hays (50-75lbs- square bales per day
questions about the sex or the integrity of the bull. the twin is a black heifer and bull calves. he, my neighbor, indicated that the bull is sterile when you have heifer and bull calf. i have read a lot of articles and could not find any informations that would validate my neighbor's statement. can anyone validate his statement or any articles.
thank you for generous responses, uscangus.
