[QUOTE="Cucumber35, post: 1437640, member: 25728"] I don't particularly care for twins either. Had a pair born last year that mom accepted both but they really drug her down hard. Older cow to begin with. I pulled her off and weaned them early and gave her extra groceries to put some condition back on. Put her back with the bull and figured hopefully she would bounce back over winter. Improved some but not like I hoped. Never saw her come back into heat and no signs of being bred this spring even after everything else had pretty much calved. She was struggling to keep up with the rest of the herd so she made the short list and went up the road. Wish I hadn't fed her all winter. Had another set this year. Of course mom rejected the bull and accepted the heifer (freemartin). My girlfriend adopted the bull calf as a pet. I call it the million dollar steer. :roll: All 4 of them turned out to be dinks in my book. I would have gladly traded for one nice one both times. [/QUOTE]
