As I said in my last post, Brownie and the twins, Fred and Ethel, were reunited briefly so everyone could receive routine treatment by the Vet. Of course Brownie and the twins loved having the time together. There was a lot of communication between the twins and their mama at feeding times and when one or the other were separated. All of that was very touching and sweet. Unfortunately, there were some not so good behaviors going on. Yep, Brownie started letting the twins nurse again. Even though it had been 30+ days since we started their weening, the twins started again. Now the question is, were they getting any milk from Brownie? I don't now, but over course of the 2-3 days everyone was together, there were many sightings of the twins nursing or trying to nurse.
Once the Vet visit was over, we separated mamas from babies again. For the next couple of days, Brownie, Fred and Ethel called and cried for each other. It was like we were starting the weening process all over again! I am always touched by the amount of affection shown by each little cow family. However, Brownie's little group seems to be the closest probably because of the amount of effort Brownie made so Fred and Ethel would survive.
