Calving Time

Late August each year is calving time for 6 weeks  and we have 19 cows and heifers pregnancy tested in calf with twins and 55 with singles for the 2017 calving.

The Twinners are in a paddock closer to the yards and we have been checking them twice a day much as you would first calf heifers.

There seems to be three different "counting behaviors" in cows with twins.

The first is a cows that keeps both calves together.

The second is a cow that has them apart but continually walks the paddock checking both.

The third is a cows that lets them get apart but forgets to count and rejects one.

If near a yard, laneway or spare paddock we run the 3rd type of cow into it for a few day to mother calves well.

Post calving a few smart calves learn to multiple suckle as cows seem to readily accept the extra attention.
