[QUOTE="dun, post: 935071, member: 34"] There are only a couple of ways to tell if a heifer is a freemartin. On some there are obvious external indications, some can be checked internally to see if all the plumbing is in place. The ones that are abnormal are obviously not breedable. There are only 2 ways to know for sure, if she breeds and carrys the pregnancy or a blood test that checks for a Y chromosome. If it's there she's infertile. Search on here for "freemartin" and you'll get more information then you really will care to read [/QUOTE]
