Belgain Blue

Origin: Belgium

Color: While, blue roan, or black

Horns: Horned

They have a natural myostatin gene, which codes for the protein myostatin that normally limits muscle growth. The mutated myostatin gene is unable to function normally, resulting in accelerated lean muscle growth and decreased fat deposition. Calves are so muscular that they often require a C-section for delivery.
