Official publication of the American Lowline
Registry is published quarterly and mailed
to ALR members and interested parties.
President’s
Column
Dear fellow lowline breeders,
I hope that all of you have had a great summer
and are now ready to dive into the activities that fall
brings from weaning calves to attending the various
sales and shows we have coming up.
Speaking of weaning calves, it is not too early to
begin thinking of the weaning process and the herd
health program that is best for you and your Lowline herd. This is a good time to consult with your
veterinarian about pre-weaning and weaning vaccinations. I have found if an IBR, BVD Types I and
II, PI3 and BRSV shot is given along with a pasturella shot 2 - 4 weeks
before the calves are weaned, and still nursing the cow, is a great help in
the overall health of the calves. Then giving a booster of the IBR, BVD,
PI3 and BRSV and a 7-way shot, along with a pour-on wormer at weaning
works well for me. While this is the protocol I follow, again, your area veterinarian can assist you best. But with the high value of Lowline calves,
keeping them healthy and in a low stress environment is worth the extra
work and investment.
I hope that you take notice of a few changes we have made to the
Ledger in this issue. Larry Watkins and the ledger committee have been
working to make this a publication that will have more information for
and about our members.
Our National Show will be held in Denver, Colorado in conjunction
with the National Western Stock Show in January 2012. We look forward
to the new opportunities the National Western Stock Show has made
available to us including the creation of a class for smaller framed cattle
in the Commercial Heifer show, special divisions in the Fed Beef Contest
for smaller framed cattle and grass fed beef, exhibit space in the Herd Sire
exhibit and exhibit space on “The Hill”. Check for more details about this
in this issue.
I am excited that we are trying to get more member involvement
through our committees and look forward to the results of their work. I
hope that we can all move forward in a positive direction with the mutual goal of helping our breed grow.

Lowline
Logistics
by Neil Effertz
To avoid the logistical nightmares and take your slice out of one of the fastest
growing segments in American agriculture... the simpler, the better.
“A Logistical Nightmare!” This catch phrase is widely
used in all business but most appropriately used in the
emerging grass fed beef business.
K.I.S.S. Keep it simple stupid! Another widely used
catch phrase that is the key to your success in the grass fed
beef business.
To avoid the logistical nightmares and take your slice
out of one of the fastest growing segments in American agriculture... the simpler, the better.
According to Wayne Rasmussen of The Grassfed Exchange, the market for grass fed beef is expanding at a
30%+ annual growth rate. In 2010, retail sales of grass fed
beef in the United States totaled more than $1.5 billion. To
put that in prospective, in 1998 grass fed beef sales were
under $5 million annually. This a clear message that consumers want more choices in their beef products, desire
healthier alternatives and are willing to pay for it. They
also want to know where their beef came from, opening
up a world of opportunity for ranch to retail sales.
This is where the logistical nightmare part comes into
play. There are a multitude of beef products that can be
sold in the grass fed beef industry. If you are doing your
own marketing work, this is where you need to keep it
simple to keep it profitable. As my wife says “you just can’t
be all things to all people”. My advice is to develop your
product line in accordance with your production, processing and delivery resources. Leave it at that. One successful
producer sells one product...Steakburger... the whole carcass in a very high quality lean ground product - steaks
and all are all in the same package. With this product
he provides three choices: 1 pound packages, 1.5 pound
packages or, for the restaurants, a 5 pound package. The
price is all the same per pound.
Selling halves at so much per pound hanging weight is
another way to keep it simple. Here is where you can let
your customers help you do the selling. You will no doubt
have a request from someone to buy a smaller portion,
not a whole half. We tell them that we don’t sell smaller
6
m
portions but would be happy to have our processors split
a half of beef into separate boxes for them if they can find
a partner to go in with them in purchasing a half of beef.
This has led us to many more happy customers and the
word of mouth advertising with Lowline grass fed beef is
an incredibly powerful marketing tool.
A good high yielding Lowline or Lowline cross grass fed
beef carcass can easily be worth from $1400 to $2200 per
head if marketed this way.
You will have the very rewarding experience of developing extremely satisfied customers because of the taste,
tenderness and fine texture of the Lowline influence grass
fed beef. Be sure to recommend that they don’t overcook
it. Because of the naturally lean nature of the grass fed
beef, caution needs to be taken not to dry it out by overcooking. The grass fed Lowline steaks we had last night
were cooked to a perfect medium rare - warm but still
pinkish-red on the inside - they were so lean, yet sooo...
great tasting and so tender, they were incredible! Yet on a
USDA quality grading scale, which doesn’t really fit the job
of measuring grass fed beef quality, they would not have
even made the Select quality grade for marbling. The flavor was so intense and robust and no waxy after taste that
can remain from over fat beef.
There is probably no beef breed that stands to gain
more market share in the dynamic changing world of beef
production than Lowlines. When you can couple cutting
production costs, cow herd maintenance costs, lowering
labor especially when calving heifers, drought tolerance,
increased hoof action to stimulate good soil health with
the incredible market for Lowline influence grass fed beef,
the future has nowhere to go but up for the fastest growing
little beef breed in America.

fullblood females averaged $7119 with open fullblood females at $5155 and percentage heifers at $2872. This sale

Lowlines
A Commercial Perspective
You don’t have to visit with commercial producer Jerry Adamson,
Cody, Nebraska, very long to find out he is sold on using Lowline and
Lowline influence cattle in his commercial cattle operation. He first
heard about the cattle back in January of 1998 at the National Western
Stock Show in Denver, Colorado. Now, 13 years later, after incorporating
them into his commercial cow herd, he just wouldn’t be without them.
Always one to do his research before jumping in to something, he
began studying and researching the attributes of the cattle immediately
after attending the Stock Show. He was intrigued by the efficiency the
cattle offered and thought it would be worth taking a deeper look. A
deeper look he did take! He found a contact in Keith Wright who was at
that time the Australian Lowline Association president. “Keith proved
to be a great asset and friend as Delores and I flew over to Australia
in February just a short time after the National Western Stock Show,”
recalls Jerry. “We spent 10 days in Australia, 7 ½ of which we looked at
cattle. The Lowline cattle were all located along the eastern coast, so it
was pretty easy to see lots of good Lowline cattle in a pretty condensed
period of time.”
“We looked at lots of cattle and I found a bull that really sparked my
interest. He was one of the larger fullblood bulls we saw. He had lots
of performance. We knew that we still had to maintain a certain level
of performance when we were going to introduce the genetics into our
herd,” Jerry continues. “The bull’s name was Eliza Park Brenton. He was
an impressive individual. We left that farm after ordering 750 units of
semen on the bull and we found 5 fullblood cows that we really liked that
we decided to flush to him. The wheels were in motion. Soon, Jerry would
receive the 750 units of semen and the embryos from the fullblood cows
that were flushed to this outstanding bull.
“That year, we bred all of our replacement heifers to Eliza Park Brenton and I contracted with a neighbor to breed about 200 head of his heifers with the agreement to buy the resulting ½ blood Lowline calves from
him. We had about 300 halfblood calves born in the spring of 1999.”
“We kept a big chunk of those for cows in our commercial herd and we
weren’t disappointed.”
Meanwhile, the first set of embryo calves they put in resulted in some
tremendous individuals. First and foremost was an outstanding son of
Eliza Park Brenton out of a really good fullblood cow. “We called the
bull calf Brenton’s Image. He was just as impressive as his sire. We decided we should take the bull and a heifer out of Eliza Park Brenton to
the National Western Stock Show in the year 2000”. Meeting and exceeding the expectation, Brenton’s Image was named Grand Champion
bull and the heifer calf was named Reserve Grand Champion. That was
the beginning of something special as they have continued to have great
success at the National Western Stock show over the years, having only
missed out on winning the best 6 head honors only 1 time when they had
enough to compete for this honor.
“We keep our fullblood herd around 20 cows and flush the very top
cows – some of those cows are 12 years old and they are still flushing
embryos for us,” adds Jerry. They have saved quite a few ½ blood bulls.
Selling some of these to other cattlemen anxious to eliminate their calving problems, and using quite a few of the remaining ½ bloods.
Why have the Adamson’s stuck with the cattle you might ask? Jerry
is quick to point out, “We used the Lowline bulls on our first calf heifers and had absolutely no calving problems in the heifers. The low stress
28
m
by Jim Doubet
calving allows those heifers to breed back right on time and the calves
have lots of vigor.” He now has several neighbors using fullblood Lowline bulls on heifers and reports – “Once they try it, they are sold!”
The ½ blood Lowline heifers that are kept back in the herd are bred
back to Lowline bulls for their first calf. Then they go back into the cow
herd for their 2nd calf and get bred the same way as all the other cows are
bred. They calve remarkably well,” states Jerry, “it is stress free. The cattle
have good pelvic area and calve good regardless of how you breed them.
Jerry finds the ½ blood Lowline cow to be the most efficient cow on
the ranch. They weigh right around 1100-1150 pounds and consistently
wean off 50% of their body weight in the weight of their calf. They stay in
about 1 body condition score better shape than their counterparts. “They
have made really, really, nice mother cows. We are finding the ¼ blood
and ½ bloods are pretty close to the same mature size.”
“In this country, success is measured at the coffee shop in the form
of weaning weight. It has very little to do with profitability. It’s a shame
more producers don’t look at the pounds of beef per acre of grass as the
determining factor of success. We run more cows per section of grass and
produce more pounds per section of grass with Lowline influence cattle
than most people raise with other breeds. It takes a while for people to
come around and realize this,” confirms Jerry.
Jerry says the big benefit of buying Lowline bulls may well be their
added longevity when compared to other heifer bulls. “Lowline bulls will
still be able to breed heifers when they are mature compared to other
breeds that become too big to continue to service yearling heifers. You
can probably get 5 years out of the bull using him on your heifers. Consider the bull’s purchase price and you are getting a tremendous value for
your operation.”
The carcass data and feedlot performance has been really good. For
several years they have fed groups of cattle at the Olson Feedyard near
North Platte, Nebraska. “The steers usually finish at 1100-1150 pounds.
One year we took some to the National Western Fed Beef Contest and
wound up being Reserve Grand Champion Pen. This was really an honor
to have competed and done so well in the Fed Beef Contest,” Jerry says
proudly.
The quality of the meat is something that has really been of interest
to Jerry. “This past year, we fed out 25 head over the winter and sold the
beef ourselves. They finished out at just over 1150 pounds. We have a lot
of beef customers that say it is ‘the finest eating beef money can buy’. It
is a finer textured beef. That is what really, really distinguished it from
other beef is the fine texture. All of the cuts are good – from steaks to
the roasts to the hamburger. We had a neighbor that bought 5 head of
½ blood heifers and kept back a calf to feed out. His wife immediately
picked up on the quality difference and the fine texture of the beef that
makes it an eating experience second to none.”
“We will continue to feed some out and provide beef to our repeat
customers. We raise some bulls to sell – mostly to neighbors.” Which
speaks to the quality of the individuals at the Rocking J Ranch and the
quality of the cattle – “it really is the best thing we could have done in
our crossbreeding program.” With this much success, you’ll continue to
see Lowline cattle around the ranch for some time to come.

Peas Produce Positive Beef Performance
New pea forage study repeats pattern of improved gains
For more information go to:
www.northernpulse.com
July 25, 2011, Bismarck, ND--If you mind your P’s and Q’s, you’ll make sure the first... that is, peas, are
part of your cattle rations. Another just-completed study on field peas confirms that peas are an excellent way to boost animal performance. This trial looked at field pea forages in steer finishing rations,
while recent previous work zeroed on the positive response to field pea concentrates.
Regardless the form, it appears that the superior palatability and digestion of this safe, nutrient-dense legume
typically results in improved gain and feed efficiency over
other ration ingredients. The pea-forage study fed tubground forages at 14% of dry matter in a corn-based finishing ration for 112 days after a growing phase with 30%
pea forage in the ration. The 7-weight steers were fed to a
market weight of about 1,350 lb. to compare forage from
prairie hay, pea residue, pea hay and pea-barley hay. All
the rations were balanced to provide 13.4% to 13.9% protein with similar net energy, calcium, phosphorus, potassium and dry matter levels.
At 4.00 lb. per head ADG, cattle on the pea hay gained
the most overall, followed by 3.83 ADG for those fed peabarley hay, 3.74 ADG for those fed pea residue forage and
3.69 ADG for the steers on the prairie hay ration. First period gain advantages were even more pronounced for pea
forages with pea barley hay fed steers gaining 4.70 lb. per
day; pea hay fed steers gaining 4.64 lb. per day and pea
residue fed steers gaining 4.40 lb. per day compared with
3.83 lb. per day for prairie hay fed steers. “This, as well as
our other trials, indicates that younger animals can really
benefit from the palatability and nutrient density of field
pea grains and forages,” says North Dakota State University
(NDSU) Animal Scientist Dr. Vern Anderson, who spearheaded this research trial.
These gain differences are relevant to all cattlemen who
can grow peas, Anderson says, and repeat the positive pattern of improved gains found in previous field pea studies.
Statistical significance, intake, feed efficiency, carcass traits
and steak tenderness evaluations are still underway. “We’ll
have final results in a few weeks,” says Vern Anderson.
“Based on the raw data, this study shows another positive
outcome for peas in livestock diets.” Indeed, the growing body of evidence for putting field
pea grain or forages in beef cattle rations includes previous
work by NDSU that found that steaks from pea-fed beef
were significantly more tender than those from non peafed cattle. This sizable tenderness advantage was “vetted”
when researchers at the University of Nebraska also looked
at the phenomenon and produced similar results. But producers needn’t sell direct to consumers or be in a branded
beef program to benefit from using peas in their beef cattle
30
m
diets. With energy equal to corn on a weight basis, and
nearly three times its crude protein (24.5%) , field peas are
a nutrient-dense grain (60 lb. per bushel) and a leafy, palatable forage.
With their excellent binding properties, peas are a natural ingredient for pelleted creep feeds and range cakes, but
should be dry rolled in home-mixes. Using 20% to 40%
field peas in creep formulations have repeatedly produced
faster gains because of improved palatability, digestibility
and nutrient density. Peas can also help beef cows digest
low quality forage more thoroughly providing a highly rumen degradable protein source that supports healthy microbial populations.
Seedstock producers also indicate a strong preference
for field peas in developing bull rations, citing satiety and
positive effects on muscle development and feet and leg
soundness. In both backgrounding and finishing phases,
feedlot cattle benefit from the complimentary relationship
between corn and peas. Both have slow and thorough fermentation and provide a balanced digestion pattern that
includes both rumen degradable and undegradable protein.
Peas are particularly well suited for getting stressed, just
weaned calves off to a healthy start. Feeding calves a diet
that includes a minimum of 15% dry rolled field peas has
repeatedly produced significantly better gains during the
weaning phase as well as for several weeks after peas were
removed from the diet.
Cover crop Plus: Use peas to rescue
drought or drowned cropland
If your alfalfa winterkilled, droughted or drowned, peas are an
excellent replacement and offer the flexibility to fit rotations
better than a perennial.
Field peas and cereal grains like forage barley or oats can
be grown together to make a high quality, high-yielding,
easy-to-harvest forage. These pea-cereal crop blends often
produce close to the same level of cattle performance as peas
alone. With decent moisture after grain harvest, a second crop
of peas may be possible using light tillage after combining.
Graze it, cut it for hay or plough it under as a green manure
crop.

ALR Board Candidate John Kaeshoefer
My name is John Kaeshoefer, and
it would be an honor to serve the
members on the ALR Board of Directors. My wife and I started our
Lowline herd on our 20 acre farm in
2004, in Beaufort, Missouri. Since
then, along with our three children,
we have built a solid herd of 22 percentage and purebred Lowline cattle.
We have successfully participated
in the show ring, and we have also
established a partnership with Quiet
Oaks Farm using Lowline bulls on Angus and Belted Galloway cows to produce grass finished beef. Like many
members, I am a professional outside
of the cattle industry, but long to get
home to the farm where I find tremendous satisfaction from managing the herd, maintaining the forage
and harvesting hay for winter. By
profession, I serve my community as
a police officer for the city of Crestwood, Missouri. Leadership skills are
paramount as I direct meetings, chair
committees, teach professional training classes and deal with day to day
inter-personal interactions and relationships including conflict resolution.
I believe this experience will be helpful as a national board member.
I am proud to be a founding
member of the Eastern Lowline Angus Association. In 2004, we started
the organization to represent Lowline
breeders in the Eastern portion of
the country. I served the board as
a Director for three years and have
served as President since January
2010. Under my direction, and with
the help of great people, we have
launched a fantastic website, monthly
newsletters, e-mail blasts with current information, and provided financial support and exposure to regional
Lowline shows. In 2008, the ELAA
also initiated a premier Lowline Show
at the NAILE in Louisville, Kentucky,
and I have been Co-Superintendent
of the show since 2009. As the largest livestock exposition in the world,
the NAILE provides a terrific setting to
spotlight Lowline Angus cattle in front
of thousands of people each year.
My platform as a candidate for
the ALR Board is to see that all the
members are represented fairly all
across the country and let their voices
are heard. I know that we’ve come a
long way; however, we have room for
improvement on administrative and
professional levels, which will give us
Fall 2011
more practical appeal to cattlemen
from other breeds. I have a vision of
Lowline Angus cattle being an integral part of the US commercial cattle
business in the viewable future. With
economic times as they are, we have
unlimited opportunity to bring this
great breed of cattle into the hands
of producers far and wide where they
can continue to prove their merits.
Please consider me as your choice
to serve on the ALR Board of Directors.
Respectfully,
John Kaeshoefer

The dog days of summer are almost over and the feel of
fall is in the air. It’s time for kids to go back to school and
Lowline breeders to prepare for fall shows.
Last week the Iowa State Fair was held in Des Moines,
Iowa. It was a good show with around 80 head of Lowlines.
It was a good Junior show with around 20 head of cattle.
Great to see that kind of participation in the Junior show!
The World Beef Expo in Milwaukee, Wisconsin will be
September 22 – 25th. The entry deadline was August 16th
but you can still enter until September 1st.
The MLA wants to invite you to come to this show. Last
year was the first year for a Lowline show here. It was a
good show last year and should be an even better one this
year.
The Lowline show at American Royal in Kansas City,
Missouri will be held October 19 – 23rd. Sale entry deadline is September 1st and the show entry deadline is September 10. The MLA is putting together prize bags for
the show with lots of goodies. We need at least 10 head of
percentage bulls to go through the ring at the show or we
risk losing the percentage bull show at the Royal. It would
be a shame to lose this show, so if you have percentage
bulls you would like to show off, please participate in this
event.
Keep checking the MLA website for events and news.
We are always striving to make our website better for you.

Betty Deeney, President
A special thanks to Melanie Schroeder of Bar NL livestock in Douglas, Wyoming for taking the reins of the Wyoming State Fair Lowline Show. The facilities were very
nice and there was a lot of interest in the cattle. Next year
the Wyoming State Fair will celebrate their 100th year,
please mark your calendars for the dates and try to bring
your cattle, if there are 20 head or more the Lowlines can
have their own show.
It is now time to think about the NILE in Billings, Mon-
34
m
tana October 19-22. This year all the breeds will be on the
grounds at the same time. The host hotel is the Billings
Hotel and Convention Center the code is ALR, the block
of rooms will be available until October 1, this year the
teachers convention is also in Billings on the same weekend so get your reservations early. The NILE premium
book is online so check it out and get your entries in. See
you all there.

Bill Cabaniss, Sec.
This has truly been the “long hot summer”. Temperatures in the eastern portion of the region have been record
setters almost every day. For some of us a rain shower is
as scarce as a white crow. But, none-the less, I am confident that God is in control and it will rain again.
Our Recruiting Rewards Program will be over by the
time this comes out and I’m excited to see who will win
those percentage heifers that Kim and Larry Watkins have
so graciously donated.
The excitement about our SLABA Junior Program has
not diminished. Olivia Levoy has been appointed the
chairman of the Junior Program with Robert Teague and
Shauna Taplin as adult advisors. The first SLABA points
show was held in conjunction with the TJLA Belt Buckle Bonanza on July 3rd in Waco, Texas. Ten (10) juniors
showed twelve (12) heifers. Olivia Levoy won the Grand
Champion Lowline award in both the A & B ring with
her heifer. Ashley Collins won Reserve Champion in the
A ring and Colby Hajda won Reserve Champion in the B
ring. There will be a junior points show at the Get-BackTo-Grass sale in Athens, Texas on October 8th and another at the TJLA Fall Classic on Thanksgiving weekend
in Waco. We are pleased that George Jenkins and Ronnie
Bowles of 10XXX Ranch are donating a percentage heifer
to the junior point winner this year. Additionally, there
will be a silent auction at the 10XXX Lowline Sale on September 24th. The proceeds will be donated to the SLABA
Junior Program to promote their Rise ‘N Shine Tour for
the fall and spring. Our membership is working diligently
toward getting 20 kids to be participating by the end of
the show year in March of 2012. Another silent auction
will be held at the Get-Back-To-Grass sale in October with
the proceeds also going to the juniors.
Speaking of Get-Back-To Grass, the next SLABA sponsored sale is scheduled for October 8, 2011. It will be the
annual Get-Back-To-Grass Lowline Sale at the Pitchford
Cattle Company in Athens, TX. As usual we are anticipating a great turnout. In addition to the sale there will be
an educational schedule (three speakers talking about
artificial insemination, beef cattle nutrition and Lowline
marketing), a complimentary lunch, the silent auction
and the SLABA Junior Show. Last year we had over 100
people to come for the event. If you are planning to come
in early, the Best Western in Athens is a good place to stay.
Mark you calendar for this great sale.
Some big changes are in store for the Lowline show at
the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo next spring--2012.
Grass-fed classes for heifers and steers have been added.
This will be one of the first such competitions for a major
livestock show. Special rules are in place for animals to
be judged in the grass-fed category. Also, the date for the
show has been moved up a week, which means that we
will be showing with many of the major breeds---putting
ourselves before a lot more cattle people. In 2012 we will
also be having a sale at the Houston Show. This will be
on Sunday evening before the show on Monday. We are
expecting a good turnout not only from Lowline people,
but from commercial cattle people raising other breeds.
A bit of a disappointment is that we will not be participating in the Star of Texas Fair and Rodeo in 2012 because of
the schedule conflict with Houston. These changes to the
Houston show should make the event bigger and better
than past years. Plan to attend.
I would encourage everyone who reads this to vote in
the upcoming election for ALR directors later this year.
Our own SLABA President, Mark Roesler will be running
for a position on the board. I wish you success, Mark.
