Answer to Question 1

Selection for extreme muscling leads to the development of cattle with a condition known as double muscling. This is simply too much muscle. These animals are undesirable because they are difficult to produce due to poor fertility and difficult calving. The meat tends to be coarse and void of intermuscular fat (marbling). The calves are difficult to raise because they are more susceptible to disease. Double-muscled feeder animals must be fed a higher proportion of concentrate in the ration in order to obtain enough marbling to grade choice.
