I think you are making too much out of notjustair's post. Most cattlemen that I know sell calves by the trailer load that usually go to a feedlot. Sometimes someone will by them for replacements but the seller has no control who buys them at the auction. I also put my freemartins in with the others and sell as a group.
I believe that there are more sets of twins born than most know. Unless you live with the cow at calving you can't know. Many times the cow will leave one of the twins and it will die. How many of the survivors are freemartins and no one knows. Last year I had 4 sets of twins, that I know of, out of a 70 cow herd.
Not knowing this particular rancher it's impossible to know his intentions when he sold this heifer. I haven't read anything that makes me believe he had any malicious intent.
