[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1428711, member: 25884"] Yes, it is 90% chance she is a free martin.....That said, have a dairy that I test for, that is milking 3 "free martins".... Which of course means that they are technically NOT free martins. This dairy has more "GOOD" heifers from a bull/heifer set of twins than any I have ever seen. Probably 30-50% of the "free martin" heifers are actually "good". So, Either do the test, or let her get up in size and the vet can palpate and tell you if she feels normal at 8-12 months.... Most I have gotten and raised on nurse cows have all been 'no good' but did have one that bred years ago. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
