The 1/2 blood bulls (at a mature weight of approximately 1,300 to 1,800 pounds) make excellent herd bulls. They are especially effective as "heifer bulls". Many can be used on heifers their entire lives!
They are extremely fertile, inherit excellent dispositions, and are thrifty "easy keepers" in their own right.
If your cattle have gotten too big to be efficient, the Lowline genetics are the quickest way to get them back to
a thrifty size in just one generation!
Lowlines thrive on limited feed intake and thereby make the most of available grazing. They adapt well to various climates, from the cold of North Dakota to the heat of Texas. Australian research has shown that Lowlines have 5% more marbling than other breeds, have 30% larger ribeye per 100 lbs. of body weight, and half the backfat of standard Angus cattle. You can taste the difference! Try it and see.
Because they are smaller and have gentle dispositions, Lowlines are very easy to handle and don't require extensive (expensive) handling equipment, fences, and corrals. They are ideally suited for small or large operations.
Since a beef cow eats 2.2% of her body weight per day in dry matter, it is only logical that a smaller cow will produce a weaning calf more efficently than a larger cow. I've seen some registered Angus cows that
weighed over 1,700 lbs. in the middle of winter! There's nothing efficient about a 1,700 pound cow!
Fullblood Lowline cattle are all DNA parentage verified to the orginal Australian Lowline Society herdbood. Percentage Lowlines from 1/4 to 3/4 are eligible for registry in the American Lowline Registry.
7/8 Lowlines are registerable as purebred, but only fullbloods with verified DNA parentage can be registered
as Fullblood Lowlines.
