It doesn't work that way. A heifer calf is only infertile if she is twinned with a bull calf and if her and that bull calf share the same placental tissues. In most cases such twins are fraternal, but simply stating that fraternal twins versus maternal twins are more prone to infertility than the other is stating falsehoods.

You have twin female calves can they reproduce?

Twin female calves should be able to reproduce in the future, given they are otherwise healthy, normal calves. The main problem is if you get twins of different genders sharing the same blood supply during gestation. These are termed freemartins and the female has been exposed to male hormones throughout gestation. Besides looking a little 'manly', or having some physical similarities to a bull, they are almost always infertile and farmers will not attempt to mate them for this reason.
