It depends from myostatin mutation. There are 9 variations. Three of them, as you said, means that calf is born plain, but develops muscles quickly after birth. Some breeds can have a couple different mutations, so it's better to know which kinds are in each animal. The same animal can have one...

I would agree on that. He might have no myostatin mutation, so not double muscled. At least his sire isn't a carrier to my knowledge. We had a lim bull, which had at least one copy of myostatin, but he was a completely different type of animal. Blondes as a breed aren't double muscled. They do...

Hopefully a herdbull for the next year. Getting some tips from his mom how he needs to aproach a woman, it seems today. 5 months old.

Our one and only pure lim bull calf turned five months old yesterday. Second photo with his dam. Twins are doing great with different moms. Another two weels old charolais calf out of second calver. Going to be a nice one again.

That's a very possible request! We will be weaning calves in November- December, so she will be 7-8 months old at that time.

Heifers calves are growing well. Oldest ones hit month age.
