Twins are doing good...

05/09/2026

We had twin bull calves born on Sunday. We’ve kept them in the barn for a few days to make sure they’re eating well and bonding with mom.

I did a little research on raising twins and came across an old ranch trick. Sometimes one calf becomes the stronger “go-getter” and the other struggles to keep up or stay with mom. To help encourage them to stay together, some ranchers loosely tether the calves together for 7–10 days using soft collars and a light chain.

The idea is that the stronger calf helps lead the weaker one, so they both stay close to mom and learn together. As with twins — whether cattle or humans — there can be a few extra challenges in the beginning, but they’re figuring it out.

Welcome to the world little one. This foal has been a work in progress for a while. The recipient mare carried her for 353 days and Johnny threw out the black gene on her, I kinda think she might turn grey like her mom,but so happy either way.

Yesterday we were fortunate to pick up this calf catcher. Now we have a safe place to tag and process new born calves when mom doesn't want to cooperate...today it came in so handy to move twins bull calves to the barn. Amazing how the good Lord works his magic and it all works out.
