Great video Kendal and Darryl

[@regenesteffen2814]

Your might consider making a dairy cow part of the herd- she would be able to feed more than one.

[@BrookhillAngus]

I work cattle all day, get my butt kicked, then relax by watching you work cattle. That crazy huh? When we get twins the first thing I think is “Here comes an even bigger workload”. You had a good outlook with your twins, great work.

[@TwinElmFarms]

Thanks, it's cause you love what you do and you can't get enough, not crazy in my opinion

[@smurfizebra4817]

Not sure why you showed up in my feed but I enjoyed your video and will go back in time on your channel. Subscribed.

[@TwinElmFarms]

Well, I hope you enjoy the rest of the videos as well. Welcome and thank you.

[@rickkneeshaw6337]

Twins again! Good for you. Fun to watch the 4 H steers tear that bale up. Lots of energy there. Thanks for the video.

[@TwinElmFarms]

I thought the 4H steers were going to destroy that bale a lot more, oh well, it was still fun to see

[@csrlivestock7080]

Why not consider giving the mother a bit of assistance with better and more feed, as the days get warmer you pasture feed should come away.. Or allow the cow to rear the calf you prefer, someone is sure to be handy who would buy the other calf as they may have lost a calf. Thanks again for sharing your work routine with us.

Udder size has 0% to do with quantity of milk Been in dairy and beef over 30 yrs If it was me : The cow with twins appears lean from carrying them, id remove 1 calf to keep cow in condition to feed the other

[@TwinElmFarms]

You are spot on. At the moment she is feeding both, she at least has milk in all quarters now. I agree, I don't think she can raise 2 good calves, plus there will be nothing left of her.

[@sandib4234]

Really cute seeing the twins nursing together 💞

[@russellparker57]

I am really enjoying your vedios, just love watching animals.

[@johnthompson982]

You do an amazing job on you videos nice to see so many calving Thanks for your videos

[@davidkimmel4216]

A great mother. Like you it was quite interesting.

[@sharonshuler1357]

Hello it's good to see L. Leon lol

[@seannytt]

What's the identifier on the top of your visual tags above the animal's ID? Dam or sire?

[@TwinElmFarms]

The big number is the calf ID. Our heifers start at 1 and the tags are big, bull calves start at 100 and the tags are small. The small number is the dam

[@seannytt]

That's what I thought. You bought a 90X cow of mine several years back (Poplar Park), wondered if she might be the dam of 35G

[@TwinElmFarms]

@seannytt lol 👋. We got a lot more then just her that are linked to your farm. We even have a number that we bought and still have, 52B that just calved was from you along with 5 other cows 191E, 16B, 26E, 66C and 24B. Which have offspring here as well. Hope you enjoy the videos.

[@seannytt]

Great to hear they've done well for you! I've moved my cows west to AB but the family farm is still going strong back home. If you're still in the market for any bull power this upcoming spring have a look at my consignments to the Western Prime Sale this weekend. I'm sure we could get them to Elm Creek if needed! Quite enjoy the videos, keep em coming.

[@TwinElmFarms]

@seannytt that 35G is a diamond cutter. We are getting our bulls semen tested this week, hopefully they all pass. But we will take a look at the sale. Glad your enjoying the videos

[@florinman265]

Hi! Do you sincronaize your caws? Haw can you have them calv so good? Thank you!

[@TwinElmFarms]

A cow cycles every 21 days and we have 20-30 cows per bull. The hope is that they get bred before the 3rd cycle is up. So then calving only should last 2 and a half months. Longer this year cause we bought some bred heifers that started 3 weeks before our herd. Did that answer your question?

[@florinman265]

@@TwinElmFarms OK, thanks! Soo they come in heat naturally? No injections involved for sincronaizing theme? What is happening if some caws don't come in to the heat in those 2.5 months? Thank you!

[@TwinElmFarms]

@florinman265 The cows that only get bulls come in heat naturally, and the majority of our cows have come into heat at least once already. The AI and embryo we sync.

[@TwinElmFarms]

@florinman265 if a cow doesn't get bred we cull that cow.

[@GenevieveGarbutt]

looks like you guys need to clean the crap up in that yard.... my Dads place never looked so gross when our calves were calving YUCK!!!!!

[@TwinElmFarms]

I'm not sure what climate you farmed in but the straw bed pack creates heat in our winter and the cows stay warmer with that. But now things are warming up and everything gets gross and yucky when it thaws. Now that we don't need the heat from the bed pack.... the barn will hopefully get cleaned out this coming week and the outside bedding will start to need a ton of straw to keep animals clean, healthy and dry.

[@sandib4234]

Wow as hard as this man works you couldn't have said something a little bit nicer geez
