Will tw in calves breed? T his sub
ject Is often m isunderstood. Twin
hulls a re as sure breeders as hulls of
single birth and there Is no reason to
suspect failure to breed when a bull
Is tw inned with an o th er hull, says W.
W. Svvett of tlie Missouri College of
A griculture.
Tlie sam e thing ra n be said of
heifers th a t are tw inned together.
They a re as sure to he breeders as
any o th er heifers.
W hen a heifer nnd a bull are horn
together, the heifer is known as a
free-niartlu. Tlie bull, tw inned with a
heifer is as certain to he a breeder
as a hull of single birth, hut the free- :
m artin heifer is alm ost sure to he '
sterile.
Only a very few free tnartlhs have
been known to breed, and the chances
are very small th a t they will ever re
produce. As a rule it Is not advisable
to raise free-m artln heifers as they
usually result In failures and are
w orth no more than th eir beef value.
