[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1839844, member: 40587"] Scott's brother had one of his Black Simm X Chi-Angus calve out twin heifers last week. They are by a Brangus bull. He told Scott they had given them some colostrum in a bottle to make sure they had enough, and are giving them each a bottle of milk (replacer, I assume), because he isn't sure she will have enough milk to raise them. They weighed 112 and 115 at birth, so big calves. He said we could come get one of them, and raise it for him til weaning. He won't sell it but that's ok...don't want to spend $1k on a calf anyhow. Dunno what we are going to do. One of us may go get it Saturday. It is about 3 hours SE from me, then about that long SW down to our place. Or, a 5-6 hour round trip for Scott. I am leaning toward NOT doing that...just wait and see how she does when we put all 3 cows and all 6 calves together. But, if we DO end up needing another calf, now is the time to do it, before the heifers get much older, I guess. I understand Scot wanting to help his brother out. And he has been good to us...loaning us 5-6 superb bulls every year. So, I told Scott it was his call, and I would go get it if he needed me to. This nurse cow stuff is getting EXPENSIVE, And time consuming. [/QUOTE]
