They found small differences in the likelihood of twins in two different breeds of beef cattle.  Herefords were reported to have 0.4% or about 1 out of 250 births to be twins.   Angus had a slightly higher incidence of twins at 1.1% or about 1 out of each 100 births.  Dairy cattle have been notorious for more twinning.  This study indicated that Holsteins and Brown Swiss have 3.4% and 8.9% twins, respectively. 

     To report the incidence of triplets and quadruplets, a very old paper published in the 1920 Journal of Dairy Science (Volume 3; page 260) by Jones and Rouse was found.  They indicated that the incidence of triplets in beef cattle averaged 1 in 105,000 births, but was much more likely to occur in Brown Swiss (1 in 3500 births).  Quadruplets are extremely rare in beef cattle, occurring naturally at the rate of 1 in 665,000 deliveries and 1 in 14,000 births in Brown Swiss.
