British Blue and Commercial Beef The History and Making of the British Blue The story of the British Blue is one of evolution and improvement.  Belgium Breeders imported top Durham Shorthorn Cattle from England from 1850 to improve native breeds in the Ardennes.  by 1930 beef type was beginning to show and by 1960 the distinctive meat animal seen today had begun to emerge.  As a result of skilful selection the 'Blue' as we know it today was born. The breed today is a specialised beef/meat producer of a large size, prominent double muscling, a slopping hump, hidden hips, a straight back and strong fine legs.
