[QUOTE="chippie, post: 672708, member: 5644"] We have owned Belgian Blue. Our only calving difficulty was when we bred a pure BB cow to an imported bull. The bull calf was enormous and the cow had to have a ceasarian section. The calf was double muscled and had to be euthanized when he was about 4 months old because the DM gene affected his heart. We have crossed American Belgian Blue on Brahman/Jersey cows without any problems for a terminal calf. The BB meat is delicious and the dressing percentage is high. The BB does not seem to tolerate our heat and humidity very well. The summers were tough on them. [/QUOTE]
