[QUOTE="chippie, post: 560998, member: 5644"] Our daughter had a Belgian Blue as her scramble heifer and showed Belgian Blue cross heifers in the Commercial Heifer show at our fair. Her crosses always did well and were high sellers. The only time her cow had a problem calving was when she was bred to an imported bull. When she was bred to a Simmental, everything was fine. It was a bull calf and he was too large through the shoulders, so the cow had a c-section. Unfortunately the calf was double muscled and it caused his demise. I forget what the double muscling causes, but basically it affected his heart and we had to have him euthanized. The breed is very gentle and they really don't eat any more than any other beef breed. The meat is the BEST flavored meat that I had ever had. Even the cross bred steers were excellent. We sold halves to friends and they too said that it was wonderful. We butchered a full blood Belgian Blue steer and he dressed at 70 %. They have very little waste. He was delicious. [/QUOTE]
