[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16932"] Clitoris enlarged, vagina extremely short, and the presence and shape of a particular tuft of hair on the tip of the vulva. Others can also be found upon palpation -- most freemartins don't have a cervix, or if they do it's small and incomplete (maybe only 1 ring). The freemartin that I have shows the external signs, but she does cycle and bleed once every 3 months or so. Upon palpation, she doesn't have a cervix, the vagina opens directly into the uterine horns.
