[QUOTE="P.A.L, post: 1003935, member: 5215"] European countries eat horse meat, but it's sold as beef. ;-D I thinks it's really expensive to support continental breeds and those double muscled beasts. They are heavy cattle around here. 900- 1000kg+. Especially Simmentals. Their feeding requirements and over all doing-ability is poor. Also it's a fact that they are not ready for breeding under 2 years old. They need to grow one more year to be productive cows or feeding must be powerful. For the costs, we have subsidy system. French get their cows 250€/year/cow feeding money from EU. Also growing crops gets lots of subsidies. If there wouldn't be this extra money, I think European cattle markets would be similar to the rest of the world. Smaller carcasses are more efficient to produce and big cows will eat their own profit. [/QUOTE]
