The Darn Good Farm, Lowline Angus Beef Cattle, LaMancha and Nubian Dairy Goat Breeder, Washington State

Lowline Angus Cattle

Lowlines are a relatively new breed of beef cattle developed in Australia by selectively breeding champion bloodlines of standard Angus to decrease size but increase beef to total weight ratio (no dwarf gene is involved in Lowline genetics), improve their feed conversion (for easier marbling on grass), and to develop a more docile temperament and natural polling (hornlessness) for easier handling. Their smaller size produces smaller cuts and total quantity of locker beef, both preferred by modern consumers, they require less feed to produce spectacular beef, they do considerably less damage to pastures even in the winter, and their size and temperament make them much less intimidating to handle.

True to breed, the meat steers marble exceptionally, producing rich, flavorful, high-choice beef. While here, steers live the best cattle-life possible, free-ranging on never-sprayed pastures with a bit of supplemental grain, high quality bread, fruits, vegetables, and the occasional loaf of Cinnamon Swirl bread. They are unfailingly treated with kindness and respect, and processed as humanely as possible.
