Which Cow is STERILE? (what you didn't know about TWINS)

- We've had several sets of cattle twins recently. One of the sets was a boy/girl pair, which means there is a high likelihood of the female being infertile. We had a bit of a mix up and didn't get them tagged in time, so we're going to see if we can figure out which heifer is good and which one might be a freemartin.

• Which Cow is STERILE? ...
Do you have a family milk cow? Chime in below!
No but I would love to have one, does anybody have one for sale
Nice to see you on youtube. My wife has been subscribed to your blog for a while... Looking forward to your content!
I'm loving YT so far! Thanks for following along!
Glad y'all are back!! I love seeing the everyday farm life. Cant wait for more! Are y'all gonna do any videos about your horses? Id love to see that!!
“Blue sleeve action happening”
Great description to describe what clearly can not be one of the favourite chores on a homestead. It takes a practiced hand as well as toughness and integrity of character.
I've never heard of the weaner before! We are rather new to the cattle business and our welcoming our 2nd set of calves this spring, so we've separated out our twin heifers from last year into a completely different area. I'm so glad to have stumbled upon your channel!
I love your videos! Keep up the good work!
I love that you’re making videos! I have a Brown Swiss heifer that I’m milking and I like to see how other people do their milking routine so more milking videos, please!
More milking videos coming for sure! And I love that you have a Brown Swiss! They aren't as common, but are definitely my fav.
Love it! I love the videos showing the real life on the homestead :)
Those are my fav, too!
Can I just say I'm so glad I'm not the only one who would think "sure, I'll remember which cow is which!" and then a year later have my not-so-happy-with-me husband palpating same said cows. Thanks for always being real Jill! :-)
LOL-- you are in good company!
I love your videos! Thank you for sharing with us 😊 my husband and I are moving to Wyoming to start our homestead in the spring!
Thanks! And how exciting! We'll be 'neighbors'!
How cool!! We live in Colorado and there’s just no room here anymore so we decided on Wyoming!
Love you and all you share Jill
Ooo good info!
Awesome! When is the TV series coming!? Learned something new. Many thanks.
Ya never know.... ;) Thanks for following along!
I had no idea about that trait of twins! It’s true: you learn something new every day! Thank you!
No milk cow yet... someday, and I can’t wait!
I love these. I am not on a homestead (I would love to be) but I know I can still use your ideas in my home. :)
Thanks for watching Katie!
Never had cows, so I had no Idea twins could be a problem. Super informational! Thank you for sharing!
Learned alot, thanks!! Just got my 1st cows ever and one of the twins is a female. I'm trying to have more knowledge about the situation!!
This is fun! I'm a 39-yr-old farm kid that milked 60 holsteins with my dad and sister growing up. We were just reminiscing (Google's creepy) about twin calves and why having them was usually a bad thing for us. Then I saw this video. Not sure I've ever heard of the "freemartin" term before. Thanks for the education!
Thanks for the information about dairy twins. We have a dairy cow we are going to have bred soon. She is not known for twins but this is just good information to have filed away. :)
Fun! Yes, it's unlikely you'll have to deal with it, but good to know just in case!
So interesting thank you! 🤗
Glad you enjoyed it!
I learned something new today!
Yay!
Thanks 👍
I don't have a farm just a half acre so I plant but I find this fascinating !
It's kinda crazy, huh?
Was given a free Martin who was not worth it for a dairy farmer up the road but wonder of wonders 3 months ago a brand new calf was born to our jersey heifer who is now giving more milk than we can drink. Moral of the story “...but if you try sometimes you just might find you get what you need”
Yes 3 milking & 2 starting up next year 😉
Nice! What breed do you raise?
Hi there
Good information
Have a good day
✌🇺🇸🗽👍👍👍
I have a milk cow, she was a twin also.
Love it! It's great to see the dirty and smelly parts of homesteading!
Yes indeed-- there are plenty of those! ;)
ood
Uh yeah, I saw this on Dr. Pol. Bummer.😑
Interesting! The girls were grossed though lol 😂
Ha! Farm life in all its glory!
The Prairie Homestead right?! One reason we don't have a rooster yet 😉 our special needs kids fixate on things and have loud mouths
@@FarmhouseTeas Yep. My brother is this way. Lot's of questions about baby animals. Haven't really been looking for videos but glad found channel could share without worrying about it.
Not very helpful video except the theory part. Showing the external differences of both would be helpful and at what age they are noticeable. Thank you.
