Lowline Angus

Why have we chosen Lowline Angus?  There are plenty of reasons why we started with our lowline angus herd.  It took a lot of research to find out the best cattle to raise on our farm.  Our farm is located in Tiller, Oregon, at about 3000 foot elevation.  Our choice of finding the right cattle for our farm was zero to none because of the following two reasons. We have a lot of grass in spring but it all dries up in summer.  We have water but only seasonal and it dries up by June.  So we thought, we have grass but no irrigation and we have water but only seasonal.  It was a very tough choice for us.

 It took us two years before we finally found the answer.  At first, we considered one of the smaller cattle breeds because they are small and fairly inexpensive to start with.  But my concern was that they have horns, which made me think of my daughter.  Then I saw a Lowline angus ad for sale in Craigslist. It got me very interested because it is Angus beef which my wife and I always wanted to raise.  However, it was depressing at first because they are very expensive.  But it didn’t stop us from getting a herd because we can see the potential they offer to our farm.  We saw the balance of bringing Lowline angus to our farm and the business model we are trying to build.  Lowline angus is the breed of choice for our farm and cattle business that has a bright future.  I can say now that looking back three years ago, Lowline angus was the right choice for our farm and a great choice for our cattle business. 

Remember, if you want to feed less Go Lowlines.
