[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 10053"] She has never even calved before let alone twinned. The ranch we got her from has never had a twin in her Glebvieh herd in 20 some odd years. She had been having very weak heats until the heat we bred her on, it was one of those, jump on everything that moves or standstill kind of heats. dunmovin farms > That’s what I figured you’d say > and I don’t have a convincing > answer against it.
