[QUOTE="jkwilson, post: 1417812, member: 969"] A few years ago we had a young cow have twins and were concerned about her ability to maintain condition feeding two or raise two decent sized calves. After they were established on the cow, we were able to get them to start on a bottle as well and then progressed to a bucket. I cut a creep gate into a panel and we'd hang the buckets on the inside of one of our pens. They'd be standing there waiting when we got home from work in the evening. Moved the creep feeder in there when they got a couple of months old and when they started well on feed we weaned them off the bucket. Cow stayed moderate, bred back, and the twins were middle of the pack weaning weight. Mine were both bulls and I was selling freezer beef at the time, so more was better. [/QUOTE]
