[QUOTE="Ryan, post: 189601, member: 615"] Belgian Blue indeed. I talked with a breeder last year at houston for a good while about them. Pretty interesting breed. They are double-muscled because of sometime of chromosomal or genetic defect that extremely minimizes the production of fat. Whereas, breeds like Peidmontese are double muscled b/c of heavy selection for muscle. The best example he gave me was this: If you go grab a brood cow out of the pasture of most any breed and put her on feed she will put on fat, however if you grab a Belgian Blue out of the pasture and put her on feed she will put on muscle. Pretty cool stuff. They had a BB X Angus steer that was about 5 months old. Man that dude was awesome. A solid black little power house. [/QUOTE]
