[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1649121, member: 968"] Did she get colostrum? Twins can be profitable - but - I HATE TWINS. Too many things can go wrong. Tangled up needing assistance, parturition too early, retained placenta, cow is thinner at calving, harder to get her bred back, etc. I have had a good share of twins (Simmental tend to have more twins than other breeds). I have to say, most have been good results, but if I never have another set, it would not break my heart. I have one old girl that has had 4 sets. Spit all out on her own, all but 1 was alive & well. She raised them all. She is 13 and is raising her 15th calf. Stays fat as a pig - even having back to back sets of twins that she raised. [/QUOTE]
