[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1843472, member: 19683"] Yeah, she is a serious calf. Lots of flesh and very wide at the back. Really thought that it's going to be another loss. Have a theory that cow's sire was heterozygous for one of the myostatin forms and this daughter got it, and now mixed with blue it produced abit of a monster calf. It shouldn't have been such big calf in the first place, especially when 75% blue by the same sire was smaller and came out much easier. So that's the first and the last blue calf for the cow. She is just not suitable for blue bulls if we want to be safer. That's just showed that knowing your cows myostatin status is very important when you start mixing double muscled breeds. [/QUOTE]
