Double J Farms has been in the cattle business for 30 plus years, mostly raising full size Black Brangus at our ranch location a few miles Northwest of Fort Worth, Texas.

Due to personal health problems it was suggested that we sell our Brangus seedstock in the fall of 2004 and look for something less labor-intensive. That's when we discovered the excellent characteristics of the Lowline Angus breed, and our son Jay decided to join us in the new venture.

We started looking for the best available animals our budget would support, keeping in mind quality as our main focus. After a lot of research we purchased a few very good animals from some very nice people. We will be putting the same effort into the Lowlines as we did our Brangus, to try and make each and every generation of calves a little better than their parents.

• Why Lowline?

1. We chose to raise and breed Lowline cattle due to their diversified usages, docility, ease of calving (40-50 lbs at birth), feed efficiency, and ability to gain weight and finish earlier than larger cattle with very little cost. Their conformation. pet-like tameness and small size has allowed us to raise cattle once more that we were physically unable to do with larger animals. Lowline cattle are perfect for small acreages with no need for expensive equipment. If you have ever raised full size cattle you know how hard they are on fences, and these animals have stopped 99% of our repair time.
2. Australian Lowlines are essentially 'miniature' Angus cattle that resulted from a 30 year research project conducted by the New South Wales State Department of Agriculture at their Agricultural Research Center located at Trangie, Australia.
3. The future is going back to the "olden" days where cattle were shorter but with just as much proportionate muscle and beefiness and with less wasted bone. Lowlines are exceptional where ribeye and beef yield are the goal.
    

It is our goal to strive to offer the best genetics and conditioned cattle possible. We are also hoping to be 100% organic very soon. We feel grass fed/organic beef is the way of the future.

Visitors are always welcome, but we would appreciate an advance call.
