[QUOTE="Muddy, post: 1811218, member: 23532"] Right! BB crosses do well in feedlots and graded choice in most cases. The kill buyers went nuts every time a double muscled slaughter cow/bull ran thru the ring and bid on them. It’s true that straight Belgian blue feeders lacked the marbling, but they hold an advantage over other breeds is their ability to yield high dressing. Calf raisers will pay high prices for a BB x dairy calves opposed to straight dairy calves & dairy x beef calves. BB x Wagyu and BB x Akaushi crosses will graded prime most times. It’s the color and the stereotypes stopping Belgian blues from becoming acceptable [/QUOTE]
