[QUOTE="ANAZAZI, post: 1223746, member: 7541"] Freemartins are often long and lanky, taller than their sisters and with less muscle and often more fat at the time the contemporary heifers start to calve. They are an equivalent to steers in a way, more frame and fat, less muscle, high marbling. Lady parts are often small(ish) and sometimes have odd shapes. Horns often less feminine and straighter than normal. Most do not cycle or stand for bulls, but like Dun says there are all varieties from totally sterile to "normal". Around 8% of twin heifers are fertile, and thus not called freemartins. [/QUOTE]
