    Thinking of changing bulls? lol what a situation. I’ve fed so many babies while growing up. My dad had a large family and always a couple dozen cows. Best childhood ever. Best wishes to your family and critters.

    It seems you have some pretty strong genetics for twins!

      We don’t usually have this many 😅, I think it’s the year. I’ve heard other people saying they have higher than average twins this year too.

    We always had 20 or so cows and for the 30 plus years we never had a set of twins nor had my fathers farm . I can’t imagine having 3 sets in a week of so .

      That’s a long time to go without twins! 😮 we had 5 sets total this year, but they came with lots of problems and 6 out of 10 lived, so they weren’t very much fun this year!

    I worked for a producer years ago and we had a high rate of herniated navels i believe 4 or 5 most of them survived a trip to the vet. We ended up tracking it Down to a herford bull in the herd as it was only happening in our herford charlaios crosses

      That’s interesting! Did those 4-5 calves live past the trip to the vet? Like did they survive and go on to the next stage of life? This is only the first one I’ve seen like this with the intestines coming out, but my dad has seen just one other. But we’ve never run Herefords so maybe that’s why.

      @barefootviews they did , prior to seeing it i had only heard of it once before in a pure bred simental and have not seen or heard of it happening again.
      I do remember after dna analysis and it leading to the bull in question he was immediately culled
