Docile and Easy to Handle
Lowline cattle are easy to handle and to work. While providing carcass traits

breeders to experience the care and handling of cattle.

of beef to eat at one sitting. Smaller Lowline carcasses produce smaller cuts,
however the loin eye are if a Lowline is 70% larger per pound than that of a
standard Angus.
Ability to Mature on Grass Alone
Lowlines will thrive on pasture or hay and do not need grain to reach full
maturity.
In todays markets, many people want grass-fed beef, an ideal fit for raising
Lowlines. Grass fed Lowline beef is delicious, tender and flavorful.
Grass-fed beef may be healthier than grain fed beef
·More health promoting vitamin E and
beta carotene
·More omega 3 fatty acids (considered a
good fat). Omega 3 originates in the green leaves of plants and algae.
· Three to five times more CLA. In early
research studies CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) looks to be one of the most
potent cancer fighters.

Grain feeding makes a cow’s digestive tract more acid. This acidic environment
speeds the growth of E. coli bacteria.
