Australian Lowline Cattle In New Zealand

Common Name: LOWLINE, occasionally incorrectly called 'Lowline Angus'. Both Lowlines and modern Angus share a similar genetic heritage, descending from Aberdeen Angus genetics imported many years ago from Scotland. Both are now internationally recognised as separate breeds after decades of selection in different directions. Australian Lowline or Lowline ar

e the only two correct names to use when referring to these heritage cattle. Lowlines have always been required to be genetically tied to BOTH their parents through testing. This started with blood type matching, and as technology improved, moved to MiP DNA testing, which has now been superseded by SNP DNA testing. Verification of progeny to BOTH parents guarantees genetic purity. ALCA does not allow grading up to purebred status. If you are purchasing Lowlines it is advisable you check that they have been DNA verified as being such. You can do this by asking to see the DNA Proof, checking the ALCA database or contacting the ALCA registrar. The only way you can be certain that the animal you are buying is, in fact, a Lowline is if it has been DNA verified as such

In New Zealand, these moderate framed, well muscled beef cattle thrive in our environment. Lowline bulls produce moderate birth weight and identifiable polled calves from both Lowline and non Lowline cows. The calves are fast growing, feed efficient and finish earlier than other beef breeds. Lowlines enjoy multiple uses including easy calving sires, grass control, aesthetics, and beef production, both commercial and homegrown. This page is the online home of the North Island Lowline Promotion Group. We are one of the Promotion Groups active across New Zealand and Australia, governed by ALCA.
