Nazi Super-Cows!

Dannyalcatraz · Jan 6, 2015

It is a bit obscure: besides figuring out ways to kill people and generally making the world less well off, some Nazi scientists ALSO turned their mind towards more mundane things like improving the quality of their livestock.

...with karmically appropriate mixed results. A farmer raising some of the Heck breed "Nazi super-cows"- apparently hardier and quite tasty- had to prematurely slaughter @50% of his herd because they were so aggressive.

Heck cows? Presumably a cross-breed between ordinary cows and Hellcows.

Are they considered the other other white meat?

(Added the BBC report on same in OP.)

Maybe they just wanted you to have to work hard for your sausages...

Heck Cows pictures

Was curious what they looked like. Mean looking. Of course, I am imagining mutated versions of these Heck Cows.
Here is a gallery I found: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/nazi-super-cows-too-aggressive-4921075

Wasn't this project led by a Herr Mooller and based in Moonich?

OR ELSE!

It appears the idea was actually back-breed to recreate the ancient aurochs cattle. By most of the breeding community, the program was considered a failure.

The Daily Show piece on the cows (which is apt to be aimed more to be entertaining than completely accurate) suggested that part of the point was to be able to have Nazi Supermen wrestling aurochs. Because, you know, wrestling with half a ton of angry pot roast makes you manly and stuff.
