[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 700571, member: 3937"] Yup, twins take extra care, extra work. Do the extra work and it usually turns out. If you expect twins put the heifer/cow in a smallish area. They don't count so well so if in a large area she will probably forget about one. Make sure the heifer has enough colostrum for both. If you have any doubt give a couple extra quarts to each calf and keep a close watch on them. The stronger calf in a light milking cow will take it all leaving the weak one to get weaker and more prone to sickness and death. [/QUOTE]
