Had a client who raised Belgian Blues. Spent $13,000 on c'sections one spring. Doesn't raise them any more, except for one cross bred female he breeds non 'blue semen.
Vicky,
I could never understand why all the C-sections. When other breeds are AI-ed with Belgian Blue semen, the calves are normal size. I have seen lots of jerseyX belgian blue and also 1 red pollX belgian blue. The owners all claimed these calves to be rather small and born easily.
Why can't a belgian blue female give birth to a belgian blue calf? Can you shed some light, please?
