Lowline Angus, Manageable Frame Size, Grass Finish
Smaller size and weight, naturally lacking horns, docility, and ease of birthing are hallmarks of the Lowline Angus breed. Smaller animals mean less stress on fences and less damage to pastures. Lowlines are easy to handle, and some owners are able to give vaccinations without using a chute or restraint. The same traits that make them ideal for those with no prior cattle experience make them perfect for 4-H projects. Children can more easily manage smaller, lighter Lowlines.
Typical Lowline weight and size:
• Calf at birth: 30 to 45lbs
• Mature cow: 700 to 1100 lbs, 38" to 46" tall.
• Mature bull: 900 to 1500lbs, 40" to 48" tall.
Lower birthweights mean a Lowline bull might be the ideal sire for a commercial heifer's first calf, resulting in an easier birth and angus beef.
Lowline cattle consume about 1/3 the amount of feed as a full-sized animal, gaining weight and finishing earlier with very little cost. They do not need grain to reach full maturity. Where you would normally stock 6 Angus cows you can run 10 Lowlines, and you can expect more pounds of meat per acre than with standard size breeds.
