[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1428628, member: 9096"] Identical twins cannot be freemartins.. because a heifer/heifer combo is just fine, and a bull/bull combo is fine too. So we're back to the only possibility, non identical twins with a bull/heifer combo, and that means the heifer is most likely a freemartin.. don't think color has anything to do with it. There is a test that can be done with a blood sample, and you may also see some non-standard female plumbing in the severely affected cases [/QUOTE]
