[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1600420, member: 18809"] Heifers. We weighed the dead one, 61 pounds. I'll get the live one this morning, but she is as big. That is a lot of calf for one cow. Funny thing is, when the vet arrived, the first thing he asked was the sex of the live twin. Then he made a joke about the second one better be a heifer too, or someone was in trouble (as he was working on getting the second one out). I have wondered how many times two eggs are accidently drawn into the straw prior to freezing without realizing it. I looked at the flush paperwork, that egg was a 6-2. Unusual to freeze one at that stage, I like to get 5, or even a 4 stage. I bought that set of embryos, advertised as conventional, but when they arrived they were IVF. That frustrates me, since I tend to avoid IVF because they are hit and miss for conception. This was the only embryo I have put in from that flush, but I hope to get more in. I like the Wheelman sired calves. [/QUOTE]
