[QUOTE="Schnurrbart, post: 320999, member: 1439"] These were not developed in Australia. They imported Aberdeen Angus in the 20s and did research with them. The animals were not crossed with any other breed and thus remained pure Aberdeen. They have to have dna done to prove that they carry the Aberdeen genes before registering. Some people now are breeding them for smallness but many are just breeding the normal small stocky cow that angus used to be. I looked at some Lowline/Tarentaise cross heifers Saturday along side of same age purebred Tarentaise heifers and there was about 4" difference in height at 9 months and maybe 5-6" difference in purebred Lowlines so there isn't a great deal of difference unless they are breeding to get the really small animals. There is a market for smaller cuts of beef going on. Many restaurants are wanting smaller cuts now with all the health gurus talking about it. Time will tell though. They would be great for small operators with small acerage. [/QUOTE]
