[QUOTE="preston39, post: 332934, member: 1487"] ======== If you are speaking of a freemartin as in twins. I have never seen one that is not sterile for one reason or another. Usually reproductive organs are misconfigured or absent. If you plan knife castration I suggesst following the signs...I believe the best is when the sign is .....below the knee going down. I never gave consideration to the signs until a few year ago when we knife castrated several bulls between 5-600# and they hardly bled with minimum swelling and recoup time was short. We now do all castrations by the signs. If you do follow the signs for knife castration of this animal let us know the outcome. I don't understand why it seems to minimize the intrusion on all animals but, am becoming convinced it is the way to go. [/QUOTE]
