Mom called about an hour or so ago, they just got their 3rd set of twins (a pair of heifers, a pair of bulls, and a mixed set) this week alone. Not to mention the other 2 calves, so a total of 8 calves from 5 momas- which is very unusual for us. About a year ago we had a flu like bug go through the herd, and they lost 2 or 3, a few others never recovered and had to be shipped out.
Some of them aborted their calves way early, and others all got way off track with their cycles. They treated a bunch of them to bring them into heat, and I guess it made them throw a whole bunch of eggs. That makes atleast 5 sets of twins in the young stock. One set is a little over a month old, maybe 2 months, and there is a definate free martin in that mix. The heifers parts just don't look right, and she pees side ways..... She'll go in the freezer.
Just moved cattle around on Saturday and looks like their already getting tight. At one time they ussually have at most about 5 calves being brought up together, and they're only within a month or so. Now we've got 8 in a week, and 2 more due before Christmas yet.
