OK, after searching the forums see that if the other twin is male there's a 90% chance the female will be sterile.
This is supposed to be the case due to the male hormones crossing placentas by blood.
That makes sense - but is there any indicators other than a vet check to tell if she's the 90% or the 10%?
The calf in question is a 6 wk holstien if it makes any difference.
The price is enticing, 30% less than a steer calf, but the odds not so much since I'm wanting to breed.
Thanks!
