In local dialect we call em a "kachtelgat", kachtelen is flemish for a cow giving birth.
They cannot give birth naturally because the calves already grew to big in the woumb, so they are all brought into the world with a cesarean delivery


There are several breeds with this trait,but the Belgian Blue is the most famous i think, there are some Dutch and several French and one italian, but the italian is a small breed
