[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1637560, member: 24027"] Little update on my twins: First set doing great! [url=https://postimg.cc/HJZX6HMn][img]https://i.postimg.cc/HJZX6HMn/IMG-20200718-084052275-HDR.jpg[/img][/url] Second set? Still glad I sold one. Third Set? Ummmm . . . Karma again. Before I let them out of prison I told the mama if she'd take care of them I'd feed the smaller one she initially ditched. I swear, she understood me! Twins were almost always together but I never saw her let him nurse, she'd kick him off every single time. Fortunately he knew the sound of the Polaris and would come running for his bottles so I never had to search for him. Did she ever let him nurse? Dunno. Obviously I couldn't watch them 24/7 and he was always ravenous for his bottles, looked sunken in each morning. BUT!!!! My last cow that calved this year (a few weeks after the twins) has adopted the rejected twin and I now have a blended family, the calf is completely off the bottle.
