[QUOTE="TLCfromARK, post: 37218, member: 198"] I spent 3 months in Belgium back in 2000 and had a chance to visit a dairy farm there. The guy had a Blue on his Holsteins cows to sell the calves for meat ( he A.I.ed 4 or 5 of his best cows for replacements ) . He told me that he had to do about 40% C-sections on the mature cows. The double muscled calves looked great but not worth the trouble of all the C-sections for a long distance rancher. Very interesting visit, a lot smaller operation than most dairies here, only about 25 cows. The goverment limits how much livestock they can run on a hectare ( ~2.5 acres ). ;-) [/QUOTE]
