[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 842822, member: 968"] On average beef breeds have 8% twinning (Simmentals are about 13% last I heard, but that was many years ago). Twinning is more prevalent with high nutrition. Fertility is highly correlated to nutrition. Here's a link to BCS: [url=http://www.ext.vt.edu/pubs/beef/400-795/photos1-9.html]http://www.ext.vt.edu/pubs/beef/400-795/photos1-9.html[/url] I would say she is a 4 - 4.5 - not ideal for the stress of nursing a set of twins. Twins draw down BCS on most all cows - in and out of the cow. [/QUOTE]
