[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1591413, member: 968"] It took me some digging, because all the articles you pull up when researching, CONVENIENTLY, EXCLUDE the following paragraphs: http://www.ngaherelodge.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Lowline-Angus-Briefing-Paper.pdf "The protein conversion performance of the High Line and Low Line animals was monitored on an individual basis, and then recorded. The Trangie Research Centre concluded that the [b][i][u]High Line animals were about five percent more efficient converters of grass to meat than the Low Line.[/u][/i][/b] Nevertheless, the computer printouts which showed the [b][i][u]best performers were High Lines and the least effective performers were Low Lines[/u][/i][/b], also showed that for the great bulk of High Lines and Low Lines their efficiency as protein converters were much the same. " "The NSW Agricultural Department was proposing to [b][i][u]terminate the experiment, sending the cattle from the trial to abattoirs for slaughter but after some hesitation, and after strong representation,[/u][/i][/b] complete dispersal sales were held at Glen Innes and at Trangie and the cattle were sold into private ownership. " I am not saying they are not useful in a nitch market. I am just stating what the REAL story behind them is. The only reason I knew this, was I have a good friend that has family in NZ & Australia. He told me the real story. Simply put, they were destined to be destroyed, but somebody wanted them, so they put them up for auction. [/QUOTE]
