Big Cow

Meet the Belgian Blue cow, this animal was not genetically engineered, but bred through selective breeding.. wiki The Belgian Blue has a natural mutation of the gene that codes for myostatin, a protein that counteracts muscle growth. The truncated myostatin is unable to function in this capacity. This mutation also interferes with fat deposition, resulting in very lean meat. They are often unable to give birth naturally, requiring a cesarean section.
