[QUOTE="BAGTIC, post: 533852, member: 3757"] We don't raise Lowlines but do raise small Belted Galloways. We are trying to develop a line of 'full miniatures' 42 inches or less at maturity. Our last two calves were a 19 inch 26 pound heifer born to a third time mother. Couldn't ask for a healthier calf. Mother is the ugliest cow we have (I call her Lumpy), daughter is one of the nicest. The latest, a heifer born April 15th, is about 21-22 inches and about 30-35 pounds. Very active and healthy. Last year our 44 inch bull got to some of a tenant's commercial Angus cows. Despite their being 14-18 inches taller than him he did his duty. Ironically the owner says the calves are of [u]normal size and growth[/u]. No reasons Lowlines or other small breeds shouldn't be just as healthy as any other cattle. Just accept that 'things happen', even in the land of giants. [/QUOTE]
