Highpoint Lowlines

Highpoint Lowlines is located in Metchosin BC Canada about 20 minutes out of down-town Victoria on Vancouver Island. We are about 4 1/2 hours from Seattle,
Washington including the beautiful scenic ferry ride from Vancouver BC.

We first came across the Lowline cattle breed in a Hobby Farm magazine.
After many hours of research we found this breed of cattle to be very intriguing.
Lowline cattle are a direct descendent of an Angus herd that was established at
the Trangie research centre in 1929 to provide quality breeding stock for the NSW cattle industry.

Trangie’s foundation stock were first purchased from Canada and comprised of two bulls, a cow and calf, and 17 heifers. The bulls were from the Blackcap Revolution family who won consistently at the Chicago international show during the 1920’s.

Having Black Angus cattle on our farm we found through our research that the true Lowline cattle breed was about 30% smaller than the standard Angus cattle that are throughout North America today.

We also found that Lowline cattle are not miniatures as many of the Angus breeders try and make you believe. We have been very impressedwith their feed efficiency and their ability to finish on grass. If you have small farms, you will find Lowline cattle to be very easy on your land and very docile and easy to handle in comparison to other cattle breeds.

We were very fortunate to have purchased our first Lowline cattle from a very knowledgeable breeder Topline Lowlines in Monroe, Washington who helped us pick the right cattle from the start for our new herd of Lowlines and who continues to help us along the way today. We also have some good Lowline cattle from Big Island Lowlines Edmonton, Alberta and Cloverdale Farms of Rathdrum, Idaho who have helped us along the way as well.

Our herd of cattle that started at three in January has now grown to twelve, we would like to continue to broaden our genetics to provide Lowline cattle to future customers and our own herd of Lowline cattle.

80 years ago the first herd of Angus cattle went to the Trangie research centre in Australia from Canada with the Blackcap Revolution family to start the Lowline breed as we know it today we are hoping that our new bull calf High Point Revolution can have a small part in adding to the Lowline breed in Canada and the USA like his ancestors have with this great breed of cattle.
