A free martin heifer happens when a cow gives birth to mixed-sex twins, one bull calf and one heifer calf. In most cases, the two calves share blood circulation in the womb. This allows male hormones, particularly testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone, to pass from the bull calf to the heifer calf. These hormones interfere with the development of the female reproductive tract, meaning the heifer is usually infertile and considered a free martin. Triplets in beef cows are extremely rare, making

Free Martin def. ✨ a hermaphrodite or imperfect sterile female calf which is the twin of a male calf whose hormones affected its development. Unfortunately for this little heifer because she is a Free Martin, she will most likely never be able to be bred. Why do I say most likely?

Freemartinism occurs where a heifer calf is a twin to a bull calf. While you may get 2 calves instead of one, you should know that as the heifer and bull calves develop in the uterus, testosterone from the bull calf can cross over to the female. When this occurs, the development of the female reproductive organs are impaired and they become sterile. While it may be a nice surprise, most of the time it’s best to remove them from your breeding plan in order to save on feed and developmental costs.
