[QUOTE="Linda, post: 65509, member: 50"] It would probably be clearer if I had said I believe fewer than 1 in 10 freemartins are fertile. In my previous post I spoke from the perspective of infertility, while majed's original post was from the perspective of fertility. And, majed did say "approximately." Sorry for any confusion. Attempting to pass an object, whether it be a pen, finger or ai gun into the vagina of a heifer is a common quick test for reproductive deformatives, but it isn't a definitive test. A freemartin heifer could have an intact vagina but have other internal reproductive abnormalities that would render her infertile. Most commonly a freemartin will have a blind pouch instead of an intact vagina, but not always. [/QUOTE]
