That is not universally true, and depends on whether the other "half" of the twin was male or female - do you know?<br />http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Multiple+births+in+cattle+are+rare,+and+not+always+desirable-a013565215<br /><br />TracyTracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00337693304549137625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-121777448747101897.post-89361967833543924812010-03-03T14:01:01.934-06:002010-03-03T14:01:01.934-06:00Is she a bottle baby?
