[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 530603, member: 6543"] I do not have sufficient recall to site the sources but I have read research that indicated that some cows were able to to influence the sex of their offspring. this is not a consious decision type thing but is related to the chemical environment within the cow. someone else cited pH as a factor. I think that it is one of several factors about which we and the cow are totally oblivious. the conditions which exist in a particular cow may favor the survival and movement of one sex chromosome carrying sperm cell or the other .
