[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 134912, member: 2095"] I don't understand the exact physiological reasons that a twin heifer to a bull is usually sterile; but it has something to do with sharing male hormones in the womb produced by her brother. Those sterile heifers are called "freemartins". Your heifer looks nice in the photo. I think she would make a decent Holstein show heifer; though really it is too early too tell. It is (obviously) not a problem with people, pigs, dogs, goats, sheep, or anything else I can think of; but it IS true for cattle. [/QUOTE]
