[QUOTE="glacierridge, post: 961854, member: 19539"] My heifer had twins this summer and I've done a lot of research as a result, 1 out of 13 females born to a twin bull will be a normal breeder. I had my heifer twin blood tested as she is at the age that she could end up a fair market calf for one of my nieces or nephews if she was a confirmed freemartin. A blood test is the best way to confirm if they will be able to breed. Part of me was a little sad but it is what it is. I can just count my blessings that the delivery was perfect, my cow healed and bred back after 3 months and the calves are healthy and growing well.
