[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 485360, member: 2653"] A real fine beefmaster cow I bought last year had twins early this morning. When I bought her, she was bred to a beefmaster bull that I really didn't care for, but she's such a good moma - she had a fine heifer calf on her side when I got her - I wanted her. She came in a package deal of beefmasters (I bought the guy out basically). I'm now going through all of the cows that I got from him, checking the exact dates, and hoping that they were bred by my bull. Looks like if they can hold out another week and a half (or so) they will all have calves sired by my Angus plus bull. Both calves were doa. The smallest looked premature. The bigger of the two looked o.k. - maybe if I'd been there I could have helped it, but I doubt it. Dang twins, no good that's for sure. The next closest beefmaster that is due up is HUGE, but hasn't bagged at all. Maybe she could have the cursed twins also. Buying bred cows can be good; but it can be horrible as well. [/QUOTE]
