[QUOTE="certherfbeef, post: 64657, member: 190"] I'm sure I will be corrected here if I am wrong but, technically by defination a [i]freemartian[/i] will never concieve. Freemartinism is recognized as one of the most severe forms of sexual abnormality among cattle. This condition causes infertility in the female cattle born twin to a male. When a heifer twin shares the uterus with a bull fetus, they also share the placental membranes connecting the fetuses with the dam. Nope I didn't come up with all those fancy words all by myself. I had help. [url]http://www.ansi.okstate.edu/exten/cc-corner/freemartin.html[/url] I currently have 2 cows in my field that were twins to a bull. I was there when they were born. Both heifers came first. My Grandpa swears that if the heifer comes first she will breed. If the bull comes first, name the heifer freezer. [/QUOTE]
