[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1428643, member: 18809"] I think your numbers are off. It is 90% likely (or more) that the heifer is a free martin. Sorry, but she is doomed for the freezer. Get your wife used to the idea now... or it will only be harder later. As Nesi said, they are not identical if they are opposite sex. Identical means the egg had one spermatozoa that fertilized it, and it split AFTER. Fraternal twins (yours) was the result of two eggs being fertilized, so they are like sibs born different years, same sire. [/QUOTE]
