[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14045"] There or three things to watch for, #1 that she cleans, if the are of different sex, look at the afterbirth and see if there are to planta or just one, probably the most important is that there is adequate milk for both especially ion the first couple of days. You will also have to keep an eye on the heifers condition to insure that she doesn't loose too much weight and not be able to breed back. She will most likely need supplementing if she is two years old too keep growing and produce enough milk. dunmovin farms > About an hour ago I had a heifer > that I recently purchased (E6 > beefmaster) give birth to twins!
