[QUOTE="donnaIL, post: 364066, member: 37"] We purchase a cow at a herd dispersal done at the sale barn a few years ago....they kept disclosing that this cow had twins, this one was a twin, the the cow we bought they didn't say anything. They were selling other animals that day too, not just the dispersal. This cow had twins the first year, a single the next (5/28/06) and had twins again on 3/27/07--she bred back before all the other cows that had calved before her???? Ofcourse things have not went well. My understanding of twins (I am an identical twin), my mother had two sets of twins (one idential on fraternal).... eggs split who knows why, or what influences it. fraternal twins are cause by two fertilized eggs... female or male, cows placentas or blood sharing is different than in people... so go figure.. who knows, it guess thats why some freemartins are fertile. Donna Edited to say...nice looking twins:) [/QUOTE]
