| What Is Lowline Angus Cattle? Lowline Angus cattle were developed from 1974 by the Trangie Agricultural Research Centre in Australia. The research was on the effects of genetic selection for growth rate to yearling age. Groups of Angus cattle with high and low growth rates were bred separately and compared with a randomly selected control group. These groups were known as "High Line","Low Line" and "Control Line". The original stock were imported from Canada in 1929, with some Scottish and USA animals added in subsequent years. When the experiment ended in 1992 the Lowline herd was sold to private breeders who formed the Australian Lowline Cattle Association (ALCA). Lowline cattle are now bred in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, USA, and China. |
| Springhill Farms lowlines Springhill Farms is owned by Dave and Corinna Hill. We are located north of Brownstown, IL overlooking the Kaskaskia River bottom. While I didn’t grow up on a farm, God has given me a love of farming and particularly cattle. Corinna and I have been in the registered Angus cattle business for more than 10 years, we decided in 2008, after much research, and some prodding from Corinna’s father, to change the cattle we were raising to Lowline Angus. We bought our first 15 head of full blood Lowlines in June, and brought them home in October after weaning their calves. The nature of the Lowlines has won our hearts over. They are such good natured, easy going cows. Even the new herd bull EZ Magic 8s has such a good temperament. We have some very nice cattle and are looking forward to increasing our quality with the addition of Magic to our herd. We believe that lowliness are not just a fad but real cattle that will turn out to be profitable for not only the small farmer, but also the commercial cattle industry. We believe that Lowlines are not only a good investment in the near term, but also a very good long term investment. Corinna, our 3 kids, Shad, Abby, Molly, and myself invite you to call or stop by to see our cattle. We give all the praise, honor and glory to God and his son Jesus Dave and Corinna |
