[QUOTE="3GFarm, post: 755321, member: 14186"] Hello. I have a question and request for information from anyone on here. First, I seldom post here but do read boards every day. Anyway, after 5 years of calving a registered angus group, my wife got her wish today. My favorite cow had twin heifer calves. She seems to be doing real well, we tagged them with a white and yellow tag to tell them apart and monitor both. Both have nursed, she cleaned both up, and seems to be doing real WELL for a 3 year old 2nd calver. Questions, A- any and all suggestions on care of the three of them is welcome. They are in the barn now due to our current monsoon. B- what causes twins, is it predominately a split of the egg, or fertilization of two eggs? Thanks in advance for the help. I was apprehensive of twins because you hear horror stories..but 12 hours in all seems TOO WELL. As a side note, last year we had a "C", lost the calf and bottle fed a calf that is now my wife's pet.
