The reason these animals are getting so big is due to a very big genetic defect of a faulty myostatin gene, which is responsible for the gigantic size and double muscling.
This amazing super species of cattle is known to have more than 40% additional muscle mass. They gain weight very fast, and produce high protein milk for their calf. Exploiting the rapid growth rate may provide an inroad to food security.
