[QUOTE="dun, post: 36267, member: 34"] Correct. Lots of people don't understand the reabsorbed bull calf concept. The twins will generally be a little smaller, less then optimum nutrition, as weanlings and even to a lesser degree as yearlings. By two they've pretty well caught up and by maturity they have caught up. The only 100% way to tell if it's a freemartin before breeding them and having them calf, is a DNA test that UC Davis does. The sings of freemartinism range from the most obvious, a hairy protrding appendage on the vulva to everything being normal except the ability to generate adequate hormones to maintain a pregnancy. The DNA test can be done at 6 weeks I think. dun [/QUOTE]
