[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 646832, member: 2308"] I like twins, especially when they come all by themselves and you find them up and bouncing. We have had 2 sets in the last 3 days, a set of bull calves on Mar 31 and a set of heifer calves today. These are much better than the ones we had a week ago, which she had by herself, but were born dead. The bull calves are a red one and a black one and the heifers are both black. The nurse cow now has 2 calves on her, which is good, her calf was born on the 23 and weighed 78 lbs, when we brought them in to graft the twin on 8 days later he weighed 108 lbs. That is a gain of 30 lbs in 8 days or 3.75 lbs/day. The second heifer calf is going to be our daughters 4-H calf this year. We will steal it in the next day or so, and put it on the bottle and Jordan can work with it. She doesn't want a steer calf that she would have to sell, so this works quite well for us. [/QUOTE]
