[QUOTE="paul swisher, post: 363496, member: 49"] The Meat Animal Research Center has done quite a bit of reseach on twinning. They even had some in their annual reduction sale last Jan. My understanding is maybe. The bull determinds if the daughter will have a high probabilty of twinning but I don't know the probabilty of a twin having twins. If you have another cow with the same sire as the twinner you can expect her to twin. They had a couple of twinning bulls that have an expected daughter twinning of 70%. I think the web address is [url=http://www.ars.usda.gov]http://www.ars.usda.gov[/url]. We went through a spell a couple of years ago with twins - 5 in one year - but got rid of all of them they are cute but often more trouble than they are worth. [/QUOTE]
