Moo my jersey dairy cow came to my homestead pregnant. I knew her due date was towards the end of September so I've been keeping an eye on her making sure she was doing good. Good health, shelter and had all the food, minerals and water she needed. One early morning my dogs were barking around the barn like crazy so I went out in my robe to see what was going on (You can catch that on my GubbaHomestead Instagram here . I went out to see what was going on and when I turned the corner to check on her I noticed not one but TWO calves. She had twins! I can't even begin to tell you how surprised I was with that lol.
My update on this to you all has been a little later then I hopes but you can imagine how much work it has been now that two babies are here. I've set up protection for them in the barn to keep them safe at night and also confined them to a smaller area as their mom was getting far away from them in the wide open pastures. That's normal, but I wanted them to stay closer being that they are so young and I often have to help the babies find their mom for food.
I don't think I mentioned yet but they are both girls! I knew I wanted two dairy cows on the homestead but three might be a little much. I feel like I have a company production going on here haha I'm still not sure if I will be keeping both and I'll keep you all updated on that through my vlogs. My neighbor has expressed interest as their mama cow recently passed away and they have a 4 month old loner calf so pairing it up with one of my babies might be a great option for them and me.
Both calves are healthy and strong. Often times with twins you can get one that is weak and often dies or the females are not fully developed. I'm blessed both are happy and healthy!
Any ideas for names?

How great, congratulations that your milk cow is pregnant, it's quite a plus that she is pregnant. As long as they are healthy and healthy is the best thing in the world.

I've always been partial to the name "Spot". :)
Regardless, congratulations on the new additions to the family. You have your work cut out for you.
Thank you!
That is awesome, @gubbahomestead
It is great that they are both healthy.
Generally, twins result in a runt that does not survive.
You are blessed to have both survived.
Thanks for sharing.

So blessed I can't believe it! So happy they are both doing great.
Congrats on the new additions to the family.Happy to read their both healthy and strong.My grandparents had cattle and the lead cow was called ( bossy) so if thats a name that one of the calves seem to be use it.Since the color is chocolate how about ( cocao) or( cally) the calf.Just a few names off the top of my head.
