[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14688"] Double muscling does not mean the cattle have a double muscle. It is just a term used because the cattle "appear" to have double muscle. Actually, it is a different grain/texture of muscle. I believe the USDA grading system will "no roll" double muscle cattle - reject them for grading. Double muscled cattle can increase calving difficulties. I would not want to put them on heifers. I BELIEVE that the first cross does not come out truly double muscled, just heavily muscled. I have never had any experience with them, so this is just word of mouth info. And it may vary from breed to breed.
