Does anyone have experience with American Aberdeen Angus? Formerly known as Lowline cattle.
We purchased a few to add to our full size Angus herd. Thinking they would be good for those who want a 1/2 of a beef but don't have someone who can buy the other half. An Aberdeen is basically a 1/2 a cow at slaughter. They are allegedly known for super docile temperament. So far not our experience. They claim their ability to be very efficient on grass is unbeatable and the bulls are great to use on standard heifers due to their calving ease. The 1/2 breed calves sell well. Especially crossed with wagyu. Not something we plan on doing but it's quite popular and the breeders I have talked to about it sell for high prices.
Having said all that so far our experience has been horrible. Just wondering if anyone here has experience with them and what their feelings are on them. I am ready to sell them all to homesteaders and be done with them completely. Before their transferred registration papers have even arrived.
