[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 621594, member: 2653"] Keren, you are right ofcourse, but I tend to lean torward letting the moma raise both if possible. Last year I had a commercial simmi have twin steers. She doesn't normally wean the biggest calves when she has one, but with the twins I brought her up to the front and supplemented her with feed. Although each individual calf only weighed about 400 at 205 days, that's still more combined than her normal single calves weigh. Same cow has re-bred (I think partially because I was proactive in feeding moma and trying to let her condition go down) and should be calving in the next week to two. I actually made more profit with two 400 pound calves than I would have with one 800 pound calf. To each his/her own. [/QUOTE]
