[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1511946, member: 9096"] Some just can't fathom 2 calves, do just fine with one.. So momma actively doesn't want him? Unless you have the facilities to pen them up, yes, grab him up and give him a bottle, then figure out what to do with him. We've had trouble with twins as well.. One year we had 3 sets back to back, one aborted at about 7-8 months, one the cow was dead the day after, who knows why, and the 3rd set momma only wanted one.. Cow that aborted took one, and we gave the orphaned set to a neighbor.. In my last 4 sets, 2 of them went perfectly, one had a malpresented, dead one, one momma couldn't count to two. Two small calves are worth more than one big one.. if the cow can raise two I'm going to have her do that. [/QUOTE]
