[QUOTE="Dana Kopp, post: 506536, member: 873"] Twins, everyone's favorite topic... Had a set on Thursday am, both are on the cow right now, birth weights 65 & 75 lbs, cow is 10yrs old. Just "surveying" to see what most people do with their twins. Bottle feed one in case you lose another? Sell one right away? Let them just stay on the cow? Nurse cows? We have had a couple sets of twins in the past, one set we left on the cow - so we had two ok calves. The other set, one got killed a couple days after birth so the cow just raised one and of course she was a great calf. We have debated on which calf to keep on the cow and which to turn into a bottle baby - both could be great replacement heifers... [/QUOTE]
