[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1549097, member: 25884"] We had a nice heifer come up with small non-functioning ovaries. Ours was not born a twin, but on occasion there have been cases where there were twins and one was reabsorbed... so could have started out as a twin to a bull. Will never know, she also was shipped as you plan to do with yours. Have had an occasional case of cystic ovaries but most often in the dairy nurse cows. Have never heard anyone relating it to feed/nutrition but wouldn't say that's not a possibility. Have often seen blood on the tail after cycling, and sometimes I never saw them in heat. But it gives me a good idea of when to start looking for heats the next time. Good luck with the test results. I think you are very wise to pass on the ones the farmer just offered you. If you have to get rid of some and maybe get a few more, I would suggest either buying some confirmed pregnant, or with small calves by their side so at least you know they are capable of getting pregnant and calving.
