Fertility or sterility is not determined by birth circumstances. That is, just because an animal is born a twin, doesn't mean it will be sterile, or fertile. Being a twin has nothing to do with it.
Another opinion:
When twin bull calves are born neither are sterile, they're both fertile. The issue comes when the twin bull is born with a twin heifer, where there's a chance that she may be a freemartin and have a 90% chance of being sterile.
