  Does anyone have any experience breeding mature Lowline females with a normal or regular sized bull. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have a friend that would like to use his Lowline cows and transition into a normal sized cow herd. I know people breed the other direction to moderate their cow herd but have never really heard of anyone doing it reverse. I do not want to cause anyone a nightmare with calving difficulties.

Have used Hoover Dam on a fullblood Lowline cow, no problem. Cow weights 1100 pounds so a big Lowline

That's the one! The dam is gorgeous too, photos of calves looked great as well!
