Here's a scary little video, showing where selective breeding alone can lead. ( I'm REALLY not advocating that you try this at home!) It's called Meet the Super Cow, Just shows you can leave the little cows alone, someones already done that! |

OMGoodness! ! You are right. I have never seen anything so horrible. They look like fat pigs with pilings standing on locust posts. The original bull in the photo does not look comfortable in his body, or very happy even! We know the purpose of the males. . . but I wonder how the females do with birthing? And I wonder the life expectancy.
This is just against nature imo! Scary indeed. Thanks for sharing.

Belgian Blues are notorious for their calving difficulties. If I recall over 60% or so required c-sections. It seems to me as though they are created with government research as part of the "Large Animal Veterinarian Full Employment Act".

That video still haunts me. What they have done to those animals is dreadful. Wonder what the life expectancy is? Wonder what the life expectancy is for those wrestlers out of the orient or the beefed up boxers here?
