Lowlines for easy calving

Dairy farmers have successfully been using Lowlines to produce low-birthweight calves.

Lowlines are ideal for heifer mating and provide a safe alternative to Jersey bulls.

Not just for the bobby truck – when the right Lowline bulls are combined with Friesian cows, some farmers are able to send offspring to processors at about 18 months of age. The Friesians contribute frame size, while the Lowlines bring beef and early finishing.
