manitoba | We ran a maine-anjou red angus cross cow herd for many years and averaged about 3% twins. A vet once told me he believed that the twinning potential was much higher in the exotic breeds and much lower in the british breeds. We found and our vet agreed with me that post calving care and nutrition is the most important factor in realizing the twinning potential of a herd. A neighbor claimed about 6% twins in a mostly charolais herd and his cows always had the best of care and post calving nutrition included lick tubs and grain. | |

Does a twin heifer have a higher probability of having twins?
