Extreme Genes



This is a short segment about Belgian Blue cattle, which are bred for their muscles.

Note the hesitation when asked if the cattle are healthy. In fact, with beef cattle, chickens and other meat-producing animals, long-term health is not too much of a concern as there is no "natural" life span; at maturity the animals are sent off to the the knackers.

And yes, this cow is the bovine equivalent of the bully whippet.
