Small beef breed expands

摘要

Lowline cattle were developed as part of a major research project initiated at Trangie (NSW) Agricultural Research Centre in 1974 to investigate the implications of selection for growth rate. Initially, 85 low growth rate cows were selected from the Trangie Angus herd to establish the original 'Lowline' herd. These cows were joined to yearling bulls also selected for low growth rate from birth to yearling age.
