[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 377350, member: 6198"] Hi everyone, We have had three sets of twins this year. For our own reasons we have pulled one twin from each cow and bottle feed. We knew the expense they would be when we started this little drama. DOB 1. 06/03/2006 80# 1.5 bottles 2x a day 2. 10/03/2006 80# 1.5-1.75 bottles 2x a day 3. 24/03/2006 70 -75# 1.75 -2 bottles 2x a day I knew this would be expensive but a bag a week... :shock: their pigs. we have them on this calf ration for baby calves (dairy ration--feed rite) it has corn, pellets etc. We try to give them about 2 500g sour cream containers 2x day. Sometimes they eat it and sometimes they don't so that is why we haven't upped the amount. They also eat free choice hay (we give them 2-3 sections of a small squarre bale 2x a day) and access to water and mineral and salt. They eat some of the hay then what is left goes to the cows that just calved becasue they are close at hand and the bottle babies get fresh hay. Am i giving them to much milk? I've replaced the nipples on the bottles cause they expanded the openning real big...gotta tell you that did not impress them :x :P Help would be great. Tammy [/QUOTE]
