    I had one heifer years back nice looking animal
    Just guessing but I think the were double musle like blues but would not have the size.
    They may have been hard calving.
    people seemed to go for bigger breeds like ch lim bb etc.

    A neighbour of mine had 2 bulls once the wer overage ones and they must have been near pure bred 2.. when it came 2 killin them he weighed them that morning b4 they went 2 factory and he said they killed out at nearly 68%. It was a serious kill out for an animal id never heard anything like it before. Not sure what bb kill out at? They seem 2 be very light boned like bb with plenty of muscle.

    I wonder are they hard calved or what? How would they compare to parthenaise? They seem to have similar traits, not sure how they compare on length and size?
