[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1511869, member: 968"] Yes, as I mentioned in another post. I leave them locked up for a few days - until she can count to two. But, even then, if one is smaller or just not as aggressive, the other one can/will push them out of the way & gobble up as much milk as possible, or just wear the weaker one out so they give up. Some cows spit them out, mother them up & never have a problem. Last year a dam raised her embryo twins, and we had a hard time picking between them & one ended up in the show string, so they grew just fine. I Hate TWINS. Many times they are tangled up/mal-presented; cow is thin, cow has hard time breeding back timely, can end up with dinky calves. HATE THEM [/QUOTE]
