Twin calf fertility

[Jjack1961]

My 4 year old angus cow gave birth to twin calves about 6 weeks ago. Both of them are heifers and both are healthy and doing well. I've heard stories that twin calves won't reproduce as adults but I've heard several different versions ie if both are bull calves, a bull calve and a heifer and of course if both are heifers as in my case. Anyone else have any ideas on the subject? Thanks in advance.

They should be fine in your case. If it's 2 bulls or 2 heifers then everything should be OK. If it's a bull and a heifer, then 90% of the time the heifer will be sterile. In that case, the bull can also have fertilty problems, but not as often as the heifer.

i would have to agree with VanC
