[QUOTE="alexfarms, post: 700781, member: 8677"] I'd say it depends on your feed/pasture conditions. We have had lots of twins through the years and I don't remember it causing alot of problems with the cow breeding back timely. I would say let her raise them, if it looks like she is not doing a good job or the pasture is getting short pull one off. I don't like taking day old calves to the sale barn. The cow ought to have enough milk to get them both started as long as she is accepting them both. If you let her get them a couple months old and it looks like you need to pull one off, it ought to be old enough to start on feed. You can feed it untill weaning time and then put it back in the pen with its calf crop mates. [/QUOTE]
