[QUOTE="GANGGREEN, post: 751072, member: 6460"] Thanks for all the advice everyone. I was really concerned about this heifer because it was her first go around but so far she's doing OK. When the calves were born, her udder wasn't very big at all but now, two days later, she's filled up pretty well and both seem to be getting a belly full. For what it's worth, I'll feed her to keep her condition up but I'm not sure exactly what type of feed or how much would be best for her. Initially she had a favorite that was allowed to nurse anytime he wanted and the other was booted around quite a bit but, again, she seems to be coming around and she's taking good care of both now. I'll consider the advice to find a nurse cow because I'd really hate for the heifer to suffer any or have a hard time. The problem is that I only have a handful of cows (the Hereford was the first one to calve this year and I hope that the others all keep their calves) so I don't have a nurse cow and don't know of anyone nearby that does but I will ask around and take advantage of it if I'm able. Thanks again, it's nice to ask these sort of questions and get helpful advise so quickly. [/QUOTE]
