Question about twins: Recently had one of my % Angus cows have a set of twins. First set of twins she's ever had. Cow is 8 years old. Raised and weaned them without any issue(best looking set of twins I've ever seen to be honest). This go round she had a single heifer. If I were to keep this new heifer as a replacement, would she also have an increased likelihood of having twins? I realize everyone can have different opinions about keeping twins and/or cows that have them but for me it's a relatively simple choice: If this heifer has an increased likelihood of having twins then she'll be going to the sale barn at weaning, if not then keeping her is a no brainer as she's off of one of my best cows. Had never had a set of twins where I didn't have to bottle feed at least one until this cow had hers last season. Figured I would try to get some more info on the genetics side of it before I made a decision.
