[QUOTE="lithuanian farmer, post: 1834241, member: 19683"] As for double muscled animals, it is popular is certain countries. Double muscled is only when it has one of two copies of any type of myostatin. Some types are considered "profit", like F94L. No calving difficulties related to it. Other types, like nt821, Q204X can and will cause bigger birth weights, more muscled calves at birth. A well muscled animal is not always double muscled, as there are many lims, charolais, etc, not carrying double muscles genes. It got quite popular to test animals in Europe to know their myostatin status. I would think that some of our cows do have one or another type of myostatin, mostly heterozygous, but quite any don't.
