| Welcome to Rainy Knob Ranch, breeders of full blood and percentage Lowline Angus Cattle. We are members of the American Lowline Registry and Eastern Lowline Angus Association. We are excited about the future of Lowline Cattle especially in this economic environment. High input costs are pushing cattlemen to rethink their genetics and ranching practices. Economic uncertainties and health safety concerns are pushing consumers to consider verified food sources closer to home. Lowline Angus can provide the answer for the commercial industry as well as the small and hobby farmer. Lowlines are 100% Aberdeen Angus, are early maturing and feed efficient. Crossed with larger breeds, their genetics can quickly reduce frame size and improve feed efficiency. Smaller frames and feed efficiency mean more cattle can be run per acre, thus more pounds of beef can be harvested per acre. Commercial beef operations and dairies are finding Lowline bulls bred to first time heifers result in low birth weights for easy calving while not compromising commercially viable calves for the beef industry. For the reasons noted above, Lowlines are perfect for the farmer with smaller acreage and hobby farmers. In addition they are docile, smaller size make handling easier and a great fit with children. Contact us, we would love to discuss how Lowline Angus can help you achieve your goals whether for profit or hobby. |
