[QUOTE="shortstuff, post: 625084, member: 7807"] I'm currently without power, but with a generator running, I was able to get online. Where are U located in southern IL? I'm 12 miles away from Shawneetown. Got a Lowline bull breeding Tarentaise heifers in Eldorado, IL. I've got a mini baldie heifer calf... 5/8 Lowline, 1/8 mini Hereford, 1/8 Simmi & 1/8 Americanized Angus. Also, I have Lowline semen including Doc Holliday. I've got a friend in Alabama who has some really good black bladies that are high % Lowline & they could probably be trucked up here fairly reasonable. I think the BWF thing would be a good idea & as long as the calves are at least 1/2 Lowline, they can be registered & shown at the Lowline shows. The percentage Lowline thing is really not that costly to get started in. I personally am crossing Lowline Angus with Angus, Red Angus, Tarentaise, Shorthorns & Charolais. BTW, Murray Grey's are nothing more than "old school" Australian Angus crossed with Shorthorn. Lowline Angus are virtually the "old school" Australian Angus genetics that were used as the foundation of the Murray Grey's & I personally like what I've seen out of the Lowline X Shorthorns. I might think hard about doing that instead of the BWF, although the animals would be bigger. I don't know if she's interested in showing, but several Lowline shows will be taking place in this region within the next year, including a division for Lowline cross steers. Most of the people interested in showing in this area, live in eastern Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, so those would be the areas where most of the shows would take place.
