Our next MIP (Most Interesting Patient): Double Trouble!

This MIP comes again from Dr. Lamont’s farm. Dr. Lamont has a small herd of beef cows, and calves out about 10 cows each spring. In spring 2025, Dr. Lamont was surprised to come home to a pair of twin calves - while twin calves aren’t unheard of, they are less common in beef cows than dairy cows, with an average of only 1-2% of beef cows resulting in twins - so, based on the odds, Dr. Lamont can expect a single pair of twins maybe every decade or so. While twins may seem like a good thing to get 2 calves from a cow in a single year, they actually often come with some additional challenges - beef cows don’t produce as much milk as dairy cows, so with these two twins, one calf had to be taken off the mom and bottle-fed after about a week, as she just wasn’t producing enough milk to keep up with two hungry mouths. Additionally, these two calves Twilight and Dusk were a female and male pair. When a female and male calf are in utero together, the placental membranes will often fuse, and the female calf will be exposed to higher levels of testosterone and anti-mullerian hormone, which leads to infertility and some male traits in the female calf. This means that Twilight will not be able to be used as a breeding cow in the future, but she is otherwise healthy and grew up into a healthy yearling.
