Gigantic Belgian Monster Cows
Originating in 19th century Belgium by crossing local cattle with British cattle, the Belgian Blue cattle are gigantic bovine wonders. Their enormous size and muscle mass, sometimes called "double muscling," is a naturally occurring mutation of the gene for myostatin, a protein that regulates muscle growth. This mutation results in accelerated lean muscle growth.

Agreed. Cows are female, bulls are male. But regardless of that, these are not 'monster' cows, they simply have a 'disease' for lack of a better word. I've seen pictures of children and dogs (GIS around) with the same syndrome; they have a condition that makes them super-muscular. They also look delicious.
mooo, that is all.
