Double Trouble!

     Well today is a very important, or extraordinay day. My Grandfather has bred cattle pretty much all his life and he has never had twin calves! Now out of all the cattle {and there were hundreds} he has never had twin calves. That must mean that cows don't have twin calves very often. Well they don't. Actualy there is only about a 2% chance that a cow wil have twins. It just doesn't happen very ofter. With goats yes! I heard of a mama goat that had six kids. Now she has her hands or should I say hooves full! Well today, which also happens to be my cousin, Chantal's 17th birthday, we had three calves born! No not tripletts. One little girl and two boys. here's the seceret : there were only two mommys! Yes twins!!!!!! Twin bull calves!!! Now that's DOUBLE TROUBLE!!!!! The one is black and white and the other is brown and white. Dad said the black and white one was born first but I like the brown and white one more. Their mama's name is Friendly because she is so friendly.{Dad named her}JohnD thought we should call them Crash and Eddie like in Ice Age but Dad and Mom didn't really like that idea. Mom thought we should call them Jack and Russel but I think that is a little weird. Jack and Russel, Jackrussel come on! The little girl is white with brown spots on her. Her sisters name is Bonnie so I thought we should call her Connie. It rymes with Bonnie and sharts with "C" for Chantal. Friendly lost her calf last year sadly. But it was her firat calf and normally cows struggle with the first calf. But do you know what I think? Oh thats a dumb question I haven't told you what I think yet. Wel I think that maybe she had twins then aswell but it was just to much for her or that calves were to weak so they sadly died because we never did see her first calf or calves.I wish all the cows had twins. Then our herd would tripple every calving season! So much to say and to little time to say it!
