[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 63643, member: 968"] Sounds like you had a heifer & a bull?? I don't know the extent of your knowledge, but do you know the heifer twin to a bull is probably a freemartin, meaning she will not breed? But, will make a great feeder. There are a percentage that can be normal - but fairly rare. You are really lucky that you haven't lost any twin calves. I've definately lost more than we saved. They end up getting tangled together or the cow calves way too early. In any case, makes it hard to breed the cow back when you have a 45-60 day calving season. [/QUOTE]
