[QUOTE="Keren, post: 531165, member: 3195"] I'd like to add that more attention needs to be given to developing lines of cattle capable of regularly producing [b]and rearing to weaning weight without supplements or exta attention[/b] multiple births. The article doesnt say whether that cow regularly raised all of her calves. Imo, cows such as jilleroo's (I remember reading about it in the paper - those calves were cute!) arent worth investing in, if they can produce multiples but not raise them. I'm not against multiples however, I worked with a hereford cow once who produced three sets of twins three years running, and always raised them herself without any extra feed, and they were the heaviest and the nicest calves at weaning. That is the sort of cow I like. [/QUOTE]
