Our cow at my camp had twins one passed away though and we found it later in the field. We had to milk her because she had so much milk for the twins and only had one small calf.

One bull calf + one heifer calf can = "freemartin" heifer calf. Possibility of sterility in the heifer.

your lucky the cow accepted both of them sometimes a momma cow that has twins will only accept one of the calves

They are doing good, lastnight I asked DH if they were bulls or heifers, he played with them but didn't even pay attention to what they were. He grafted the black one onto another cow that had lost her baby. He rode through the pasture yesterday and found two premie calves and a whopper calf that didn't make it. He took the hide off the whopper and graphed it. Now the little black calf has a new mommie.

What's a whopper calf?

The only cows I ever witnessed being born were twins ;-) very neat! Congrats!

 

[chickenranchwife]

ksacres, what I meant by whopper calf is that it was a really big calf. It was overdue.

Any mixed set of twins we've ever had, the female was sterile.

We had a sow that attacked her babies (she was a scared first-time mom) so I thought that's what was happening.

Can't wait to see more pictures!!
