Comparison to Other Animals

    The three areas of potential for the Australian Lowline: 

    A)  The advantages to the small acreage landowner 

      1.   Docile and naturally polled (never any horns to hurt  
        themselves, others, or YOU!). 
          • Quiet tempered with great personalities, they make excellent pets. 
      2.   Higher stocking rates -means you can raise 2 or 3  
        Lowlines  on the same acreage as 1 full-size cow. More than twice as many calves per year.
      3.   Very easy to care for:  
        • Cattle are herd animals, it is easier to care for 2 or more Lowlines instead of one solitary animal.
        • The small herd is more contented and less stressed than  one solitary animal.
        • They do not require expensive equipment/handling facilities.
        • Easy on fences, cannot jump over normal fences.
        • Less erosion and pasture compaction means less time renovating and restoring fields.
        • Known to vets - all medicines, vaccines, and treatments are standard.
        • Less calving and maternal problems since calves are so small.
        • Darker pigmentation avoids problems of lighter skinned breeds.
      4.   Very few Lowlines in US, huge potential for growth. 
      5.   Great profit potential:  
        • make good profits on small acreage
        • meet income requirements for property tax deferrals
        • easy supplemental income
        • best possible choice when compared to other animals
      6.   Raise your own organic beef.  YOU control what goes into 
        the animals. 
       
      
    B) The potential for large beef ranchers 
      1. Adaptable to a wide range of climate conditions 
      2.  Do well with limited feed 
      3.  Need less or no grain to finish 
      4.  Provide a smaller and higher quality cut of meat 
      5.  Meat is tender, tasty, well-marbled 
      6.  Meat is consistently uniform 
      7.  Carcass yield is higher than other breeds 
      8.  See statistics HERE. 

       

    C)  Use for dairy farmers 
      1. Lowline semen for heifers will provide 
        a.  At birth, calves average 40 to 55 lbs. 
        b.   Less calving problems 
        c.  A more valuable calf
     

    What are the Best Ways to get Started? 

    1)  Purchase a live animal 

    2)  Purchase a recipient cow in calf with a Lowline 

    3)  Purchase embryos to implant in your cows 

    4)  Purchase semen straws
