[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 969252, member: 968"] GL - cute! As any of the old-timers on here know --- I HATE TWINS!!!! Yes, occasionally, things can go perfect - but not high odds. I have had super success (cow raised both twin heifers - sold 1 as 2yr old c/c for $6000 & other is still in my herd ) and super failure - both twins born dead (too numerous to mention), cow wouldn't rebreed. That's both ends of the spectrum - but they are almost ALWAYS more trouble then they are worth. Even the slightest THOUGHT of flushing a freemartin is beyond me. Don't know where you heard that they might breed but don't carry the calf. Either they are a BREEDER or NOT. Not much chance of being "in-between". For a nominal fee, you can get her tested if you are dead set on hoping to put her in your herd. [/QUOTE]
