[QUOTE="regolith, post: 914782, member: 9267"] Considering that it's a condition that can express itself in a range of severity... what I wonder is whether anyone has ever had a heifer diagnosed as a freemartin that went on to breed. The information I got in the vet letter when I had one tested and confirmed a freemartin was that they were unlikley to concieve and if they did, very unlikely to be able to maintain a pregancy. Better not to get hopes up on a one in a million chance :roll: A dairy herd I worked in years ago had a young cow in the herd who'd been twin to a bull - I didn't know it till I was looking through the calving book one day and there she was. Proably she was one of the 5 - 8% not a freemartin, as she'd bred twice at that stage. [/QUOTE]
