    panda cow

    There is a man up in our area we call 'the professor' who's been breeding for panda cattle for years.  His 'gene manipulation' is cross-breeding...what cattle breeders have been doing for years.

    All new I am Angus air tonight - Monday, Nov 22

    Does it make some of you wonder how angus got so big?  Yeah, TJ, we agree....they look like lowlines to us too.

    Is this AI facility still around, Ultimate Genetics at Wheelock, Tx.?

    We had some semen stored there until recently.  Think it's been bought out a couple times...don't remember what it's called now.

    bloodtyping purity

    Thanks, AJ. We've been working pretty hard to get the red fullbloods going.  We've got a few clubby cows now sired by Heatwave, Heat Seeker and Sin City, plus a blue roan cow that we've bred to lowline bulls and are anxiously awaiting their calves.  These cows aren't much bigger than our...

    bloodtyping purity

    Lowlines were Champion Angus  bloodlines  imported from the US, Canada and Scotland in 1929 and put on a research farm in New South Wales. They were managed by researchers  (you know the type ;)) to improve the Angus herd in NewSouth Wales. They brought in champion bulls from time to time to...

    bloodtyping purity

    I know most of you look down your noses at the Lowlines, but they did start DNA testing back in the 90's and the breed started on a research farm that was closed to everything but Angus for 70 years.  We don't have to worry about any  purity issues now or in the future. :)

    Lowline X Clubby genetics

    Fullblood lowlines are originally from Australia and are DNA tested back to the original herd.  There are no height requirements...just having a short angus does not qualify them to be registered as lowlines.  Their parents must be registered as fullblood lowline and DNA on file at either the...

    Lowline X Clubby genetics

    The lowline cross steers can make market weight, depending on the mama's size.  We've got a 1250 lb shorthorn cross cow that will calve next year and I would be surprised if her calf (if it is a bull/steer) would make weight.  We've also got some 1800-2000 lb cows that had 1/2 lowline bulls this...

    Lowline X Clubby genetics

    Whatever works for you is great. Some people are just looking for something to downsize their herds, and lowlines can do that very quickly.

    Lowline X Clubby genetics

    Is bluey available or just sons ( AI) ? Pretty sure I saw a pic on Kit Pharo's site of a Bluey son? Yes, we also have a Bluey son on Kit's web site, plus another bull we sold to a customer in WY. Rudy (Red by Design)  is  the highest marbling bull in the Lowline breed (top 1% RA, top 5% Angus)...

    Lowline X Clubby genetics

    We purchased and imported a herd from the Hamptons in Queensland.  They're primarily from The Glebe and Goan studs. Our avatar is Bluey, the first red lowline bull in the world and he's been getting a great reception here.  We know reds are not accepted in the Australian registry, whicih is a...

    Lowline X Clubby genetics

    Here in the U.S. the lowlines crossed with other breeds (angus, hereford, limousin...etc) are doing very well commercially. On the 1/2 lowline cattle we're seeing only 50-60 lbs different on steers plus they're finishing quicker (cheaper) than commercial cattle. They excel in the grass-fed...

    Lowline X Clubby genetics

    We've got a few clubby cows we bred to lowlines, including daughters of Heat Seeker, Sin City and Heat Wave. We were very impressed when we bred our commercial cattle to lowline bulls and are breeding them back.  One of the 1/2 lowline calves is already 440 lbs at only 4 months old.

    Fencing close to house

    We used sunwood for our fence and it's no maintenance.  Stihlpro, you're welcome to take a look since you're just down the street.  It really dressed the place up.

    We've got a 3-board fence with hotwire on the cattle side. Works great, even with the bulls.
