In Reply to: Lots of twins posted by Don-Wi on December 14, 2012 at 19:52:38:
I can say our cows are producing fairly well lately, and the feed we got this year, despite being dry, is some of the nicest a guy could ask for. But we did have to treat them to bring them back into a cycle, after being checked by a vet and they just weren't doing anything.
Just like fertility treatment makes women throw more eggs, it made the cows throw more eggs too. In a normal year, we may get 1 or 2 sets of twins.... Not 3 sets within a week in a herd that only milks about 20-25 cows on average.... Heck, normally we don't even have 3 cows due in the same week.... And we had 5 cows in labor this week. Just a small herd, but the last few years things have been looking much better for my parents on the farm. Feed quality/volume production has been up, milk production has been up, and they haven't had to buy any hay/silage for 2 years now. Makes it easier to pay for fuel and seed that way...
