Economical to raise, finish on grass with good marbling.
More animals per acre, which increases production.
Great FFA or 4H projects.
Small enough that children can handle easily.
Very good mothers.
Excellent when crossed with other breeds.
Low birth weight, great for first-time heifers.
Lowlines are 100% Aberdeen Angus. Every full blood (100% lowline) must be DNA tested prior to being registered.
Lowlines were genetically selected to finish on grass.
Lowlines finish at an early age, on average at between 13-17 months of age.
Low birth weight, ease in calving. Excellent for first time heifers.
NOTE: One dairy producer calving 80 heifers annually is in his 5th year of using Lowline bulls and hasn’t assisted or lost a cow or calf during this entire time.
More animals per acre; approximately 2 Lowlines compared to 1 full sized cow.
Lowline cattle have 30% larger rib eye area per hundred weight. The cuts are smaller, thicker and well-marbled. They marble higher than other breeds tested. No more 12 oz steaks that are paper thin. And, since they’re angus the flavor is excellent.
More omega 3 fatty acids (a beneficial fat), less omega 6 fatty acids (a detrimental fat). In today’s health-conscious environment it makes sense to offer a healthier product.
Naturally polled; no horns.
Market demand remains consistently high for breeding stock as well as a secondary market for organically/naturally grown steers to provide freezer-sized beef sides with little to no waste, benefiting today's smaller families.
