Twin calves turn heads

There is a set of twins causing quite a stir in Mulmur.
Scrumptious, a registered Hereford at Morningcall Farm, had a calf on June 10, and farmers Doug Martin and Patsy Glover swear that a twin was born 11 days later.
Scrumptious was a little late delivering her calf, said Glover, so they were keeping an eye on her. On June 10, there was a big thunderstorm at dusk and Glover said she looked out the window to see that something had caught the cows’ attention. Martin took the flashlight to investigate and found there was a new calf. Scrumptious had given birth to a heifer calf.
Glover said another cow stole the calf, as cows are wont to do. The other cow had aborted her own calf and took the new one for herself.
“They will do that. If another cow wants to mother that calf she’ll steal it if she can get away with it,” said Glover.
But she didn’t get away with it.
“I said, what’s wrong with that stupid cow? She’s laying there chewing her cud and somebody else’s got her calf.”
They reunited mother and calf and put them in a field by themselves, so they could keep an eye on them and keep the calf away from the other cow, which bawled for it for almost three weeks.
Scrumptious and her calf, named Renée, could get into the barn to get water and when Martin was cleaning it out one day, he discovered the second calf – a bull, named Rambo.
“That’s why she didn’t care about the other calf, I guess,” said Glover, laughing.
“It’s just unreal. Incredible. And they were both healthy and doing great and they’re still doing wonderfully.”
It’s unheard of, said Glover.
She said they are having their blood tested, mostly to see if Renée can be bred in the future, which is sometimes a problem with twins. But seeing as they are most likely fraternal twins, she may be able to have a calf, after all.
Glover has also informed the Hereford Association, which has said it will print the news in their publication.
