I have always wanted a Belgian Blue now I finally got one.
The Belgian Blue is a docile animal with an impressive muscle mass also often called double-muscle. Having a fine bone structure and fine muscle fibers resulting in lean and tender meat. Their calves are born just like a hereford (fine bone structure) and don't start developing the muscle mass until it is 2 weeks old.
Pete is very easy to work with and sometimes I forget he is bull.
He passes his personality on to his calves which they too are very quiet and easy to work with.
This year we are getting more bull calves than heifers.
Here are some new pictures of 2008 calves.
In the fall of 2008, we will be selling the calves on Satellite in Provost or from the farm.
