    No That was way too late to detect twins.

    If you want to detect twins or sex of calves scanning ideally should be done 30 to 40 days after being bred. That was too late to tell. I left scanning till Sept and 5 sets of twins not shown but my own fault as should have scanned earlier

    Spoke with my vet on the sex of calves and he is slow to scan for sex calf as his view was leads to repeats.
