[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 326597, member: 2095"] You must have missed the history of the Lowlines and the Highlines. They BOTH started out as old Angus genetics at a research station in Australia. When the question of how big is optimum became the research question of the day.....they divided their herd into two groups and linebred one group for small size (the Lowlines) and linebred the other for greater size (the Highlines) and compared the two. They were linebred by a not for profit research station and did not introduce any "new" genetics into the herd during the lengthy research project so yes they should not have any Holstein, Brown Swiss, Chianina, or anything else introduced into their herd. The Lowline research was discontinued and those cattle sold to the four winds where they have developed a following amoung miniature cattle breeders. The Highline was retained by the research station; where I presume they remain. [/QUOTE]
