Hottest new breed

[Show Heifer]

Lowlines have (2) herdbooks; 1 for fullbloods (100% and DNA tested back to the original Australian herd) and 1 for percentages.  The percentage herdbook allowed cattlemen to utilize the lowline genetics on their commercial cattle for low birthweights, downsizing, hybrid vigor, etc.  The Australian registry didn't allow this and they haven't grown like the U.S., and the Canadian registry just introduced percentage cattle in the last couple years as a way to grow their breed. 

Now if we can just get lowlines recognized by the "powers to be"......

ok... these speckle parks look A LOT like a few of the white parks an old family friend used to have.  Am I very far off?... and if not... I've got semen for sale out of the penetenary herd when they first came over to the US
