[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1435658, member: 19683"] We almost every year have one set of twins. This year had two pairs. Had no problems with accepting both calves, but that usually can be the main issue. Also needs to make sure that cow can raise both. Last year one pretty slim looking cow had twins. After one month one calf got ill, had to separate him, after a couple days he was okay, but his dam was barely standing, so had to give her some extra feed and left only one calf with her. She took way longer to breed back as she was very skinny. Last year she calved in April, this year she still doesn't have a calf. Always needs to watch if both calves nurses, sometimes cow leaves one calf and walks away with another, so have to bring that one to the mom. [/QUOTE]
