[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 982034, member: 18809"] We have only had two sets of twins, and in both cases the cow raised them. I would give the heifer some supplementation for a little while, and watch the babies close to make sure they are up and moving. Our last set of twins are now 90 days old, and look great. All we did was feed the cow DDG's for 7 days to help establish her baseline production, then kicked the group out to a pasture on their own. Once I felt comfortable that she could handle it, and they were healthy, she went out with the rest of the group. Good luck! I like having twins, but we have had two good experiences. I would like to think that Simmental cattle have plenty of milk to raise two without a problem! [/QUOTE]
