[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 742371, member: 9169"] [url=http://www.usa-lowline.org]www.usa-lowline.org[/url] The niche that a lot of the breeders are working to fill is providing a sure-nuff calving ease sire for first-calf heifers. Then, the 1/2 Lowline progeny which result provide "downsized" replacement heifers for those who want to go in that direction. And the limited research that has been done so far is showing that the Lowline-sired halfblood steers are still big enough to work in the traditional beef production chain. There definitely are breeders raising them just as pets or novelty cattle, no one could deny that. But also many breeders who also raise "regular" beef cattle and are geared towards commercial beef production are Lowline breeders or are at least trying them. A Lowline breeder won two of the weight divisions of the 2009 Royal Brisbane Show, home of a very large and prestigious carcass competition in Australia, with Lowline-influence steers. They beat out 255 other entries of ALL breeds. I don't raise them myself so I'm not trying to "pimp" them. Just trying to keep the mis-information to a minimum. I personally love the smorgasbord of genetics that are available here in the U.S. to work with, and would like to see a lot of different breeds thrive. [/QUOTE]
