[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 458149, member: 968"] I am not confusing feeders with carcass animals. And I am talking about all double muscled cattle. They don't have to be purebred of anything. Charolais used to have dm in their breed & they chose to breed it out of their gene pool. As to date, it is an undesireable trait. As Mikes' article says, "the cattle develop such bulging muscles that in extreme cases they have trouble walking and the calves are so big they have to be delivered by cesarean section." I watched a Bel Blue bull calf get loaded onto a horse-trailer. It was about 10" off the ground and the people had to pick up each foot & put it up on the floor of the trailer, becasue the animal was incapable of stepping up that high. Why in the world would anyone here want to create cattle that cannot propagate without man's interverence (cesarean's & posibly only AI) I still stand on the fact that DM cattle are not ALLOWED to be officially graded. I'm working on getting "facts". I'll report if I find I'm wrong - but I don't think so! :D [/QUOTE]
