[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 529860, member: 13"] You have to consider that in getting a ligher side of beef, you're reducing the size of each cut. You get the same number of steaks from any cow. It's the size of the cut. I don't know much about minature cattle or smaller breeds, but most people like at [b]least[/b] an 8 oz ribeye. Will the Lowline consistently produce that? You're sensible to realize that Lowlines are a niche market. I'd disagree that "serious cattlemen" are going to turn to Lowlines. I'd also question the claim that they produce more quality beef per acre of pasture. You should realize that any breeder/association can make almost whatever claims they want. Can they back them up with some scientific/university research? Is your meat processer set up to handle those small animals or will he charge more? The feedlots don't want them. The big packers don't want them. Any business venture is a risk. I know some people who made big bucks in the ostrich era and some that lost big bucks when it collapsed. You pays your money and takes your chances. :) [/QUOTE]
