NW Tennessee | I have been around cattle all my life and have never heard of this until today. I will relate the story as told to me: A few weeks ago, a man in his mid to late 60's that has raised cattle as long as I've known him, sold his crop of calves at a nearby sale barn. They ran a group of his steers through, and the buyers had them cut one out to sell seperately. Then when they ran a group of his heifers through, the same thing happened. He said he was talking to a guy next to him and didn't really notice what they brought until he picked up his check. The two that were cut out sold for 20 cents or so less than than the rest of the groups. Really nothing that unusual, except he was curious as to what was wrong with the calves. So he looked up the buyer and asked what was wrong with them. Buyer told him the steer and the heifer both were "double muscled" in the rear end. Not sure what part of rear end, but that's what he said. Buyer told him Limousin's were bad about that. While I'm not sure what kind of cows he's running now, he was using a Limousin bull. Just wondering if anybody can enlighten me about this. As I said, he or I have never heard of that before and neither have a couple of other neighbors that raise cattle and always have. TIA |
