[QUOTE="paul swisher, post: 25984, member: 49"] We raise Pinzgauers and I have been told they have a high incident of twins. In the last 4 years we have had 187 calves with 9 sets of twins. Of the 9 sets 4 had one calf die either at birth or shortly after. 3 sets both calves lived but one was bottle fed. 2 sets the moma took care of both. 7 sets were the same sex. 2 sets were different sex. The free martins were considered steers. The 2 sets where the moma took care of both was the same moma with a single birth inbetween. 5 live births 5 weaned in 3 years if all our cows would produce like her I would love twins but she is the exception the expense of bottle feeding plus the time is bad. All the other momas were slow in breeding back so you gain just to loose it back. [/QUOTE]
