Lowline Angus Cattle
Madie Rose (5) showing Licorice Blossom a 4 month old half blood Lowline heifer, in a Clover bud costume class. (They won first place)
Our herd primarily consists of Angus cross cows that are bred to a Lowline Angus Bull. The Lowline Angus are considerably shorter that the Angus cows that are popular today. They are much like the Angus that were around 40 years ago before ranchers decided that bigger was better. We like the Lowline Angus because the calves are small and the cows seldom have birthing problems. We are what is called a birth to finish operation. In some cases we have 4 generations of cows on the farm. The bull calves are castrated at about 6 months old and are fed a diet of brewery hops. This consists of wheat, oats and barley. They are also on pasture. Because they are 1/2 or 3/4 Lowline they are smaller and finish in less time than a commercial steer. Twelve to fourteen months as opposed to 18-20 months To find out more about Lowline Angus check out this site: www.usa-lowline.org
