[blackbelly] Freemartins?

[Mary Swindell]

Hi Julian,

I have had lots of mixed (1 male, 1 female) twins, and the females always 
do great at getting pregnant and lambing.
No connection to the cattle situation as far as I know.

I am 100% sure this does not apply. 

We have mixed twins all the time and the female is quite capable
and has produced.

I know with cattle, if there are twins, one male, one female,
that 
female is usually sterile... what about sheep?  Is this not an 
issue?  I know that goats have mixed gender twins all the time,
and 
I've never heard of it being a problem.

Thanks,
Julian
