  9. Henshaw’s Story • Twins born, same sex, and mother accepting all calves is rare but not for the Henshaws. Big Mama gave birth to triplet bull calves and she accepted ALL three. http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/upl/icnewcastle/sep2006/8/7/6DA6338C-C59D-CD02-7F11A5F9C3C4C492.jpg

  10. Jim Miles Story • Imagine a man standing behind a heifer, who was having a calf, for about 10 min holding onto the calf until it fell out of the mother. • Wouldn’t your arms get tired?

  11. Rorvig Ranch story… • Often cows have twins and only except one. If there is a mother who lost her calf some ranchers skin the dead calf and put the hide on the orphan twin so the mother who lost her calf will except the orphan. http://www.rubinville.com/dailydave/uploaded_images/calves-whispering-796650.jpg

  12. Mark Becker story… • Can you imagine being inside your mother all warm and cozy, then being dropped onto a snow covered hard, ground and it being sub zero degrees outside? http://farmingfriends.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/charolaislimousincrossjustb.jpg
