[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 726558, member: 968"] Keren - yeah - I can just see the postoffice :banana: Your 3 scenero's are great - but, that's not the problem. It's the "too early" calving - weren't prepared - it's the tangled up calves that don't come out unassisted - it's the two dead calves - it's the poor body condition - it's the most likely retained placenta - it's the potential late cycling - blah blah blah - I HATE TWINS - as most of the regulars on here know! Yeah yeah - I've had a few cows lay down & spit out live healthy twins and do a great job raising both and bred back right on time, and I made a lot of $$ on some (sold the best of 1 pair as open heifer for $2500, kept the sister. Sold best of another pair as a c/c pair for $6000 - still have both sets of sisters in herd - yahoo! money makers! - VERY RARE!!! Much more BAD cases than good. I'll take a single LIVE calf anyday. Luckily, have hubby that is awesome at untangling & getting calves out - had one set - both were backwards & upside down, coming together - saved! --- but, not always the outcome. Lots of times they are dead before going into labor. [/QUOTE]
