[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 490920, member: 2653"] O.k. So I posted about twins a little while back. Well today another one of my cows had twins. This time both are alive, although small. Both bull calves, both between 45 and 50 pounds each. Very small, but the moma have accepted them both. While one is a little stronger, both appear to be sucking (and pooing - an important sign) I'm kind of preparing myself for the smaller one to die - bottle feeding is not an option. Weird year this year. These twins are from my Angus Plus bull. Below is a pic of the moma I'd taken a year or so ago. She weaned a good calf last year - but if both are living by the weekend, I'll bring her to the front pasture and start supplement feeding for her.
