That's nicer than the vet I once saw pinch a twin..."Eeney, meeney, miney....you lose." :shock:


ACK!! My vet at least was quiet about it and just hunted for the smallest and easiest to access.

While reading about the reference about the colt/filly twins, the following question came to my mind:

Any case of a smaller surviving twin colt, (with a twin sister) who later managed to become a sire who ended up siring big progeny on a regular basis?
