Cheers, its never a very happy story with twins for me, but being as they are both good strong babies, and she can definately take them, well I dont wanna jinx it anyway. I should have known something was up as she is the most gentle soul normally but was really agitated when I went to check and spray the first one. Its lovely when you have had enough time to devote to getting to know them so well. It was quite easy to see where they had a good suck from hehe.

Thats the stuff, least big1 has some company with common interests ;D on their paddock. As these two are so evenly matched they are not running off from each other like the other set, tho they were much better today being on their own. Attachments:

Thanks tho they are scrawny she is really looking after them, so they have a chance. Lucky for her really she last calved 1-12-10 so was down to go, as I dont pd regular, got her looking ready to go in March then a few days before she was due to go, she looked empty, her bag changed slightly so I pd'd her to establish date. Mind you if she rears these two she will average out ok haha.
