No, goats can have singles, twins, triplets-- any manner of multiple births. I personally know of a breeder whose goat had a litter of five kids. The most common number of babies is two, however.

Yes cows can have twins. It is much more likely to have a single calf but cows often have twins and can even have triplets or more. I would say its similar to humans

Can conjoined twins be different gender?

Nature has various safety valves. That is one of them. Conjoined Twins are identical twins with a natural connective bond, therefore they always take the same sex. Fraternal twins, like the fictional Bobbseys, can be Boy and Girl.


Do conjoined twins have the same sex?

Yes. Conjoined twins are always identical (monozygotic) twins, and identical twins are always the same sex.There is a theoretical case where identical twins could be opposite genders, when the babies are female but in one of the females, a branch of one X chromosome breaks away; however, I don't believe this has ever been observed.
