Feb 12th, 2009 | Belgian Blue Beef survey

Schwarzenegger Super Cows


Belgian Blue Beef are famous for their "double muscling" due to a gene that suppresses the production of Myostatin.
Myostatin is a protein that normally inhibits muscle growth after a certain point of development. Pure Belgian Blue
carry two copies of the gene.
