[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1833932, member: 968"] Sire is OMF Epic. Vet immediately checked her and vulva was definitely large/ not right. But, if she was good, yes, I would breed her. I have lots of twin heifers that go right into my breeding herd. I have a lot of twins. Simmental are fertile myrtles. They have a higher percentage of twins than other breeds. But, I have not seen increased twins out of twins. I do not LIKE twins, but over the years, I have a good record of live twins (dang, hate to say that out loud - jinx). Phil has never had a full breech. So, vet explained everything he was doing. I'm sure if Phil had palpated her, he could have gotten them out. He is amazing with dystocia for a city boy!! We rarely have a problem - except twins. They sure like to come in weird positions. We had 1 cow he went in and I could see on his face he was trying to figure out what he had. Turned out to be twins - but - 1 calf was coming right position, but 2 front legs were under and head was over the other twin that was laying sideways. So, they were making a "T" shape. He shoved them both back in and managed to get just the one, then the other. But, you should have seen his face when he was trying to figure out the puzzle. Vet is AWESOME!!! [/QUOTE]
