[QUOTE="Keren, post: 563101, member: 3195"] If you really like the cow (genetics, conformation etc) then I would seperate her, wait till she calves, and if its a heifer calf either foster it onto a nurse cow or another cow that can handle twins, or bottle raise it. That way you will have her genetics in your herd, just watch that she doesnt follow mum's track and keep sucking. I dont know whether you are a seedstock operation or not, but if so you might also consider doing this if its a bull calf. If not, decide which sells for more in your area (heavy pregnant cows or pairs or three in ones) and sell her. [/QUOTE]
