When I was leaving college several BBlue farms wanted me to work for them....I just couldn't bring myself to do it. The muscling is useful, extremely lean. I do not find it as tastey tough...I like marbling and I didn't feel the B Blue put the marbling in the meat that I am accustomed too. To each there own though. I truely feel there is a place for all purebred cattle somewhere....I just don't always know where
