I agree 100% that dwarfism and small stature are not the same descriptions. Crows are black but not all black things are crows. Dwarves are miniatures, but not...
I saw somewhere that only hereford and a couple other breeds were naturally mini. Are all other mini breeds bred by down sized by crossing with other mini...
Ther are a number of breeds that are naturally miniature sized. Some Zebus, Dexters and the Guinea Jerseys are a few. The Lowline Angus was not bred to other...
Nope Vicky--they were gigantic--sabre-tooth tiger example rather than horses. The original is thought to be the aurochs: big, big, big! From skeletons, bulls...
Miniature Jerseys were not bred down by using other breeeds. I would imagine the Hereford was like the Jersey in that they were very small at one time and now...
A Lowline and a miniature angus are the same. Lowline is a trade name, probably copyrighted. A dwarf anything is an accident of nature, being small but...

Sorry, I do NOT confuse the registry with the one you all demean. I do not know anything about that man, so do not talk about people I know nothing bad about!...
Everything I have read on the Lowline told me they are NOT miniature Angus, but everyone told me I was wrong, so I have just stayed out of it. Glad you cleared...
Dori can answer better than me, but Fullblood Lowlines must be descended from the original Australian Lowline stock. They must be DNA tested before they can be...
I wish I had the site that explained it all very clearly, but I've been looking and can't find it. It was some years back that I found it. The response to you...
But how did the Aussies get the Lowlines??? Wouldn't they have downsized? Just curious Barbara ... From: Ron Hovanec To: miniaturecattle@yahoogroups.com ...
In other words it is possible they could have the same DNA, but the Lowlines have to be from Australia? Strange. Seems that where you are from is the main...
Lowlines do originate from a selective controlled group of Aberdeen angus from 40+ years ago, with no other blood brought in to the controlled group in the...
We had a nice heifer the other day and tried to get as many pictures as we could. We added a story board page of the birth. Of course we missed the all...
Do you remember the roper's calf? A rodeo calf roper got a young 130 lb. Hereford/Charolais calf to use for practice. The calf was too young and wore out from...
What a heartwarming story. Brownie is a very lucky heifer and she'll probably bully that bull because she's always been the little one on the block. Now...
I agree KC. That response to Barbara was rather SNOTTY and UNCALLED FOR, if you ask me. (of coarse nobody's asking me!) I think someone needs to learn how to...
That's SUPER. I wish I could do that Gene, but I have a hard time giving anybody up when I get attached to them, after bringing them back from the edge! Vicky ...
Vicky, Giving them up is the toughest part of this job. The toughest one I have had to do so far was give up a goat buckling that I had delivered. He was born...
Hi Barbara, I have read all of your recent posts, and frankly haven't responded for fear of you taking my response wrong. But Calling Short Leg Dexters an...
I don't recall saying anything about short legged Dexters. I was speaking of the definition of "dwarf".....I suggest you look it up in your dictionary ... ...
The Dwarf Gene is what causes Short Leg Dexters I don't recall saying anything about short legged Dexters. I was speaking of the definition of "dwarf".....I...
Dan, I too seek out the small proportioned dexters, and they just look more uniform to me. I will take the chance and breed short leggers as I want very small...
Just to let you know that a virus has attached to your mailbox as I got one with a return addy that was in your name. K.C. ... From: D Gene Bowen To:...
I often wondered about that. I've never heard anything about pre historic cow bones! So they've gone the opposite way of the horse. From GIANTS to the modern...
Greetings All, confess I haven't read all the posts on this issue but just wanted to comment that we had Dexters from 1992 till this year and we never had a...
