Belgian Blue cattle are medium-sized, heavy cattle,
sometimes with a massive double muscle structure. Their colors are blue, white,
and blue and white. Belgian Blues are small boned with a sloping rump, hidden
hips, strong legs and a relatively small head. They are quite robust and
healthy.
Belgian Blues produce a cross bred steer with a high
yielding carcass dressing out between 65 and 70 per cent. The meat is tender
with a minimum coverage of fat with a high proportion of the valuable cuts.
The proportion of difficult births is particularly high
among heifers.
