Has anyone that keeps better records than me have any experience of a ewe repeatedly resorbing one of a pair of twins?
I bought an in-lamb Texel last year, scanned for twins but only had one (big tup out the side door). No idea if it was resorbed or an admin error.
This year she was scanned twins but produced a smaller single at 3am this morning. She's always been fit enough.
I'm normally lucky if I see 1 or 2 singles out of 300+ scanned twins so seems a fair coincidence, although this year she'd certainly be scanned earlier in her pregnancy than any of my hill ewes ever are.
