I assume you cant enter twins on CTS ? Dont want to enter one calf to find I cant enter another to same dam. Or do I have the joy of phoning?
CTS - register twins?

You can just flashes up a warning that you've already registered a calf to the cow accept that and carry on. Got one to do myself

You can, no problem.
It gives you a warning to check [which is good], but will accept twins fine.

If one of them's a bull calf just name it Jaegerbomb (allegedly)

I've had a set of twins after using a genus easy calver AI straw of two different breeds.
Hereford and a BB iirc

I think I had a phone call to double check.
It was a few years ago now.

It's warning you that you are attributing 2 calves to 1 cow.
It's to help stop you making a simple mistake.
Ploughing on regardless of the warning gives one a marvellous sensation of rebelliousness.

Yes it's quite educated, the breed of bull you put with the cows been the one you put on the passport

You don't have to put the sire on the birth notification though. Some have teams of bulls working cows
Bought some "named sire" Hex heifers a couple of years ago, and the farm was using a mixed semen. The names on the passport was nothing but speculation as far as I could see

I know it's conventional and wouldn't do it any other way, but does anyone put the dams breed as the cross rather than the sires? Was thinking about it last night as our software program (@Farm Matters Ltd) pre-fills the breed for a new calf with the dam's breed, and I'm tempted to make a suggestion that it asks for sire first then uses his breed (with an added X if appropriate) to pre-fill the breed field but don't want to mess it up for others.
