[QUOTE="VaCowman, post: 1617385, member: 33135"] I'm with Jeanne, if she's from your best cow, I wouldn't cull her on the basis of whether or not she MAY give you a twin...especially if her momma raised them both and got bred back on time. I've had an increase of twins in the last 3 years, all from different cows, and none are related. I too hate twins, but I'd dang sure keep a heifer out of my best cow, regardless of twinning history of the cow. Yes, there may be some genetic merit to the twinning, but there is always someone out there looking for a bottle calf to put on a cow or to give to their kid to raise. JMO [/QUOTE]
