[QUOTE="dun, post: 533621, member: 34"] Bagtic: My old mentor was a dairyman and kept excellent records. He wouldn;t keep a twin or a cow that twinned. The reasoning was that the year they twinned they milked far heavier then wqas their norm or expected. Each subsequent year the milked less then they had before twinning. Also, if a cow will twin and raise them she is way to heavy of a milker to be able to do much good on just pasture. You start slopping grain to her and her calves to make up for it and you'll find yourself in a hole pretty fast. Besides, according to the heretability stuff, fertility is a very low heritable trait.
