[QUOTE="Carrie, post: 49302, member: 361"] I know in humans that dizygotic twins can be a familial trait but monozygotic (identical) twins are just a fluke occurance as the ovum splits. Is this true in cattle? We've only had one set of twins. We supplemented with a bottle feeding once daily for a while and they weaned bigger than our other calves that fall. Their mama has never produced another set. Couldn't tell whether they were fraternal or identical - kinda hard with a set of twin bull Angus calves! [/QUOTE]
