[QUOTE="glacierridge, post: 961034, member: 19539"] We have been raising BB cross since 1996, and they are NOT monsters And they are DELICIOUS. :) tender and lean, can cut it with a fork. You don't need any A1, just a little salt and pepper. Belgian Blue is a great breed. Granted full bloods aren't practical for an average cattle raiser with the pureblood calving issues, HOWEVER over in Canada the breed isn't as extreme as it is in Europe. Please see this PDF [url]http://www.belgianblue.ca/_mndata/belgianblue/uploaded_files/Sam%20Dunlop%20025-024-CCT111212.pdf[/url] I think it's great that some breeders have managed to tone down the breed enough to help the calving issues while maintaining the rest of the breeds qualities. My prediction: as the modified Canadian branch grows and ranchers get forced to have more efficient cattle with this last drought and needing faster growing steers/steers that will gain more pounds of body weight for the amount of feed fed, that the BB from Canada will expand on popularity.
