[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1239787, member: 9096"] Twins are nice when they work out, but they are high risk. I haven't had twins in nearly 100 births now, or about 4 years.. last set was a pair of 110 lb bull calves from a huge cow, second one was stillborn, it was a breech birth and I didn't investigate until the next day (didn't figure on it with the size of the first one) The year before that cow's sister had a pair of twins successfully.. a bunch of years before that 3 maternally related cows all had twins the same year (none since).. first one the cow died the next day (gave them to a neighbor), the second miscarried them at 7 months, and the 3rd only wanted one of them (orphan was adopted by the one that miscarried) [/QUOTE]
