[QUOTE="Schnurrbart, post: 326311, member: 1439"] I don't believe that "efficiency" is the proper term because that is all about pound of gain versus pound of feed. What they are talking about is that something smaller eats less to do the same thing proportionally than a large something. Although the Lowlines do have some very small animals, a large number of them are not all that small. They are the original Aberdeen Angus and have not been "bred up" like the modern day Angus that abound today. When a 6' man walks up behind an Angus bull and is eyeball to his tail head (for lack of a more vulgar term) then you know that Angus has been modified from their origin. I think there is a market for them as more and more people are looking for smaller cuts of beef. Will they take over? No, but they may very well find a good market. The prices for seedstock right now aren't bad either. [/QUOTE]
