[QUOTE="dun, post: 22546, member: 34"] A barren cow is one without a calf. Usually by the time they're classified as barren they've gone several years without calving. A freemartin is a sterile heifer born twin to a bull, whoever there are cases of a heifer being a freemartin and no bull calf is born. If there were twins at the appropriate time and the bull dies and was reabsorbed the heifer will still be a freemartin but you won;t know it, and maybe not suspect it till she doesn't carry a pregnancy through full term. To be 100% acurate, a cow can not by definition be a freemartin. dun [/QUOTE]
