    Not only is this a repost but it is misconstrued EVERY time, those cattle have not been genetically tampered with or modified to block myostatin, they have just been selectively bred. My gf's dad shows cattle and when I showed my gf those pics ages ago she said thats just what that breed looks like, has done for years.

    Indeed I did Mr Head, quite some time ago and yet still people refer to these cattle as "myostatin blocked", "gene-doped" etc when they are no such thing.

    they are myostatin blocked via selective breeding. Farmers noticed some cattle from a two breeds were more muscular than the others. it is believed they have a genetic mutation that blocks myostatin. They were then bred to produce these breeds of over muscled cattle.
