Originating as a dual-purpose native cattle from lower Belgium, via the Durham\Shorthorn, the Belgian Blue was recognized as a separate breed in the mid 20th Century. Although they have been in North America for only a relatively short period of time, these heavily muscled animals are rapidly becoming the breed of choice to beef producers, dairymen, and health conscious consumers.  Here are just a few reasons of why this is true:

An extraordinary musculature development - naturally with no added hormones or steroids!

Early maturing.

A high ratio of feed to weight gain conversion.

A Natural docility.

Shorter gestation periods than the majority of the continental breeds.

The HIGHEST carcass yields of all breeds.

The ULTIMATE TERMINAL SIRE BREED with an ease of calving in any cross-breeding program.

The meat is also naturally tender and tasty while having a lower fat and cholesterol content than skinless chicken breast!
