RSC said:TJ, Have you personally been to Australia to check out the original roots of the breed? You should write a book about the breed! Oh Silly, me you just did! (thumbsup) How are you driving traffic to your site? Are you listed in several Lowline directories that's helping get traffic to your site? Should I post some of those pictures I found to show the OP the Lowline cattle your talking about? (lol)

CM Cattle said:Thanks, I saw a post about lowlines and it just got me thinking.
OK you got me stumped! How do you get a high ranking with Google?TJ said:RSC said:TJ, Have you personally been to Australia to check out the original roots of the breed?

Tony, never been to Australia, but 2 of my good friends have been to Australia to check them out. Plus, I am good friends with a former Australian breeder & know another Australian breeder fairly well too.
RE writing a book... the above is a short story compared to some of my previous writings on this subject. (lol)
RE driving traffic... GOOGLE is the #1 reason. My high ranking in Google, Yahoo & MSN for multiple search phrases, other breeders linking to my site, advertising in our breeds magazine, word of mouth, & I even occasionally get a handful from SP. FWIW, I've never submitted my site to get listed on the ALR website... I need to get that done & I need to do some other things too, but even without that listing, I'm more than doing OK. I get a few hits from our Eastern Lowline website, but I send twice as many visitors to that site as I receive. In fact, I typically get 2 - 4 times the traffic as the Eastern Lowline site.
RE the pictures... that last thing that you posted a picture of would certainly be "mini Angus"... (lol)

FYI, I googled LOWLINE and found those Pictures! Not Mini Angus! (lol)

HAFarm said:You were talking about your genestar results in regards to marbling/tenderness for your lowline bulls. What kind of IMF score do you get from ultrasound on a 16-18 star bull? What about ribeye sq. in.?
LazyGLowlines said:We had 5 bulls scanned in Denver this year. This was after 2 1/2 days in the trailer so they had some weight loss on the trip. These were all fullbloods
ID Weight REA FT REACWT IMF T Score Age
T2 992 12.05 .44 1.21 4.04 18 22 months
U2 614 9.31 .27 1.52 3.67 23 11 months
U5 556 8.19 .22 1.47 3.68 28 10 months
U1 620 9.72 .26 1.57 4.17 27 11 months
U8 442 6.65 .09 1.50 3.64 15 10 months
We were told that the technician doing the test didn't like to give out tenderness scores less than thirty. So we felt pretty good about the scores we received, the last bull on the list we sold to some people in Utah and we took him to Denver to show him for them. His 1/2 brother, Lazy G Bruce is now on Kit Pharo's semen sales list of Lowlines.
We have done some genestar tests, but the problem we have with genestar is they constantly change the parameters so it is hard to judge one animals performance against another because the number of stars keep changing. Now they don't do stars at all.
