The Belgian Blue is a large sized animal with rounded outline and prominent muscles. The shoulder, back, loin and rump are heavily muscled. The back is straight, rump is sloping, tail set is prominent and skin is fine. It has fine but strong legs and can walk easy.
:lol: :lol: I see where you are coming from. I guess I would question their statement - especially the "strong legs and can walk easy". That's a hoot from what I've seen. The "large sized animal" may come from the fact that they might weigh up there with their double muscling, but they are a smaller statue animal - and that is what they "promoted" - small cattle for easy calving!Frankie":2b71ghpu said:I guess we can quibble about frame or what's "small" and what's "big" all day, but according to the OSU breeds of livestock site:

they're usually on the smaller frame side... FS 4 or so. lots of meat i assume, but i havent really seen any numbers other than well over 60% hanging wt.

There was a big kick for a while, selling bulls/semen to dairies. The half blood calves were supposed to come easy & thicken up well.
