[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1224313, member: 14661"] FM's are a result of an embryo split. That's why the FM has male charachteristics, she's the junk half of a male embryo. The level of development is a clue as to where the split happened during pregnancy as the more male she is the later the split as males take more development than females. If you do get one (exceptionally rare) that is developed as a female enough to carry a calf to term she is still a male as she is a split from a male embryo. Hence the resulting calf has two sires and no dam. [/QUOTE]
