[QUOTE="AudieWyoming, post: 725276, member: 13669"] Twins are genetic but a lot depends on how you feed. The Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) in Nebraska has a twining research herd. I have not seen much about them lately but I think they were up around 25% or 30%. I worked at a 400 cow dairy years ago, we averaged over 3% twins with holstiens, one year we were over 7%. Maybe it was the AI tech because in 20 years at the ranch in Wyoming I have had at least 1 set every year with angus cows, usually 2 or 3. Some Colorado dairymen think it is something in the alfalfa, could be, I winter on alfalfa here. (just kidding about the tech part) :banana: [/QUOTE]
