Whether the dam was a twin herself may have a little influence on her odds of giving birth to twins. Normally twins occur in one out of 1000 births.

Try to breed beef cows so that they always have twins?
Don't do it. Twins are harder to manage and much more harder on a cow (unless she's producing a lot milk and can keep her body condition at normal) than raising a single calf. Often a momma cow will reject one twin and keep the other, which means you have to bottle-feed that other twin. If one out of every 5 cows did that and you had a 200-head cowherd, that is a LOT of bottle feeding to do! Twins are also smaller than a single calf, and thus market weights for twins are generally lower than that of a calf that has been born alone. Survivability for twins after calving is also lower than that of a single calf. So it's not worth the effort to try to breed cows to produce twins all the time.

Only if the twin is a heifer and if that twin has been tested negative for being a freemartin (IF she had been twinned with a bull calf). Twin heifers are both highly likely to get pregnant when they reach puberty.

That will depend. Presumably you are talking about possessives. If you are referring to one individual as a twin and something that belongs to that twin, then it is twin's. So if you are talking about the computer belonging to one twin it would be: The twin's computer. If you are talking about something jointly owned by twins, then it is is twins' that would be used. So if you were referring to the parents of the two people, it would be: The twins' parents. If you are not talking about possessives but talking about plural, then it is twins.
