    Solution

    A free-martin is a sterile female calf that is born as a co-twin with a male calf. This condition occurs in cattle and is a result of the exchange of blood between the male and female fetuses during pregnancy. The male hormones from the male twin affect the development of the reproductive organs in the female twin, leading to infertility in the female.
