Start Your Small Herd with Lowline Angus: Meet Our Heifers and Bull!

Are you ready to embark on your journey into cattle farming? We have an exciting opportunity for you! We are offering three beautiful Lowline Angus heifers for sale, along with McTavish, a young bull we purchased this spring, making it the perfect starter package for your small farm.

Why Choose Lowline Angus?

Lowline Angus cattle are specifically bred to thrive in smaller farming environments, providing numerous advantages over traditional larger breeds:

  1. Cost-Effective Investment: Starting with Lowline Angus is significantly cheaper than purchasing regular-sized cattle. Their lower purchase price means you can invest more in quality feed and care.
  2. Space Efficiency: These compact cattle require less land, allowing you to maximize your small acreage. You can raise more animals without the burden of extensive pasture management.
  3. Easy Handling: With a height of just 39-43 inches, Lowlines are much easier to manage than their larger counterparts. Their smaller size means less intimidation and greater safety for you and your family.
  4. Gentle Demeanor: Known for their calm and docile nature, Lowline Angus are friendly and easy to work with, making them ideal for families and children.
  5. Ideal Freezer Size: Lowline carcasses typically weigh between 150-200 kg, perfect for family consumption without overwhelming your freezer space. You won't have to deal with oversized cuts that come from larger breeds.

 

Meet Our Young Bull, McTavish

McTavish is a young bull we acquired this spring to complement our heifers. He represents the excellent genetics of the Lowline breed and is well-suited for small farms looking to start their own herds. His calm disposition and manageable size make him an ideal choice for breeding.

The Challenges of Large Cattle on Small Farms

While larger cattle breeds may be efficient for industrial processing, they present several challenges for small farm operations:

  • Excessive Space Needs: Larger breeds require more land, which limits how many animals you can raise.
  • Higher Feed Costs: They consume significantly more feed, increasing your overall expenses.
  • Handling Difficulties: The sheer size of traditional cattle can be intimidating and difficult to manage, especially for inexperienced farmers.
  • Infrastructure Strain: Heavy cattle put additional stress on fencing and facilities, leading to increased maintenance costs.
  • Oversized Portions: Large carcasses result in more meat than most families can consume or store effectively.
