So the showing season is over for the year which is a bit of relief as we have done so much travelling and had many early mornings however I think we have been succesful in spreading the word about Lowlines. The main point was always to get the breed known about and seen by as many people as possible which I think we have accomplished along with the bonus of a nice collection of rosettes and a few pieces of silverware!!
We are very pleased with how Lowlines have been received, we have been up against many different breeds – an “any other breed” class is always very difficult as you cant compare like for like. We have been in with Murray Greys, Speckled Park, Longhorns, Galloways, welsh black, south devons and even modern day angus and commercial cattle at some of the shows and most of the judges havent seen Lowlines before so the fact that we have had so much success really shows what great cattle they are.
We have received an awful lot of interest and are now busy making plans for our open day on the 14th October. The advert has been in the Small Holding magazine alongside our article and also in the Farmers Guardian and these again are prompting lots of enquiries.
Fingers crossed we have a dry clear day for it , please come along and see the cattle, find out more and there may even be a tea or coffee thrown in !!
