Thanks. That is very interesting. I will forward this info to a friend involved in the study if you don't mind. No names, just facts of record. Perhaps one day, we will get it figured out. Deb Msg: #6 in digest rom: "Joannie" <joank@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ubject: Re: Testicles ate: Sat, 12 Feb 2011 11:15:05 -0800 Interesting information about the birth study. From personal experience: 2 litters, same sire & dam. 1st litter - 4 girls, 3 boys, kinda mixed for birth order. All boys had 2 esticles. 2nd litter - 7 girls, 2 boys. The boys were born last. At 4 months, the big oned hunky" male had 1 testicle, his more refined brother had 2. By 7 months, both oys nly have only 1. Hmmmmmm......
