I almost missed your reply... glad I caught it.
8% seems high, 13% VERY high. One of my favorite cows, beautiful, intelligent, docile, and an easy breeder, had a single calf the first time and twinned every time after that. She delivered all of them without assistance but half were dead. It wrenched my heart when any were dead, but two dead in the same parturition was terrible. I kept one of the first surviving heifers and she delivered twins the first time, refusing one calf. The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth, I guess. I avoided twins after that with a passion and felt better for it.
