hope we dont have to graft, but if we do, we do...

probably pull the smaller one off and let one of the kids bottle feed it, or if the guys get crazy at the barn, sell it off

never say never.... that extra graft calf can always go to a bottle or be wean at the end of calving

I love the twins. Here the cattle have it really easy time of it so they can care for twins quite easily. I make sure that my pasture is at least 6" at all times. I also rotate to fress grass at least once a week.

I love the times I get several twins and I wean at 105% or higher!

I know where the cows have to work hard to support themselves and a calf a set of twins might not be good.
