" The Belgian Blue: No, it’s not a GMO!


The mutation has been documented as far back as the early 1800′s, but the modern Belgian Blue is the result of intensive selective breeding and inbreeding programs in the 1950′s. The result is a breed of cattle which has a universal tendency toward double-muscling and hence the unusual appearance.

The Blue is prized for its extremely high yield of lean meat. However, the economics of the breed are debatable, as there are a number of complications to raising and keeping the breed. For one, most births are by c-section, as the Blue has difficulty birthing calves naturally. The breed requires more concentrated protein-rich feed and does not do well in all environments. For this reason, the Bengian Blue is not an especially popular breed of cattle, and thus many people are not familiar with them."
