SMALLER BY DESIGN
For the last 150 years beef cattle have been bred big to produce the huge slabs of meat that were a symbol of affluence for our ancestors. Australian Lowlines are designed to produce a smaller, better carcass.
BRED FOR BETTER BEEF
Because Australian Lowlines and Lowline x dairy steers produce meat with good marbling and just the right amount of sub-cutaneous fat, they win carcass awards against all comers. The sort of meat you want yourself.
SMALLER BETTER CALVES Use Australian Lowline bulls over your dairy heifers for a smaller faster maturing dairy beef calf. Australian Lowlines ... bred for better beef.
  1. Lowline bulls throw very small calves which cause minimal stress to your valuable Friesian or Jersey dairy heifers. Expect 23kg to 28kg birth weights from Friesian heifers and lower from Jerseys.
  2. Expect unassisted calving. An Oz dairy farmer who has joined Lowline bulls to his dairy heifers for the last five years, reports no assisted births, no abortions and no empty heifers during that period.
  3. Shorter gestation,  from seven to 15 days less than with other breeds of bull, so you'll get around 10 days more milk plus greater management flexibility. 
  4. Small but nimble. Young Lowline bulls can cover heifers as big as a Brahmin. Friesian or Jersey dairy heifers are a breeze.
  5. You can buy Lowline bulls young and keep them for six years or more without sacrificing fertility or over-stressing your dairy heifers. Lowline bulls weigh 650 to 750kg at maturity and  are renowned for their fertility. 
  6. Bull maintenance is less costly because Lowline bulls eat less than your present bull.
  7. Calves  will be  black, BEEFY and glossy.
  8. You'll get a quality calf every year and they'll be in high demand. In Tasmania Lowline x Friesian calves have topped the price for day-olds at $A220 per calf for a complete pen. Unbelievable,  but it's true.
  9. Lowline x dairy calves  are placid,  easy to handle, easy on fences, very suitable for lifestyle blocks or small acreages and produce extremely high quality beef. A pleasure to farm.
  10. Surprisingly profitable. On Oz grazing country, Lowline X Friesian steers are replacing the traditional three year bullock with a 24 month finished steer at a live weight of around 490 kg.  Four hundred day growth rates are exceptional and in NZ conditions they finish even earlier.
