About American Aberdeen
American Aberdeen, formerly known as Lowline Angus, descend from a pure Angus herd selected for smaller frame size at Australia's Trangie Research Centre starting in the 1970s. Standing about 60% the height of a full-size Angus, they deliver the same marbling and carcass quality in a compact, feed-efficient package that produces more beef per acre. Their moderate size, polled heads, and calm disposition have made them one of the most recommended breeds for small-acreage homesteads.
