Heartland Genetics is owned and operated by Mike
Standley, Alan Gates, and their
families. Mike and Alan are both cow calf producers in SW Iowa.
We saw our first Lowline
heifer in the summer of 1996. We were really
struck with her structural correctness and
beauty in that smaller package. After some
investigating and considering we decided to
make the trip to Australia, and see for ourselves, if these cattle were really viable.
We visited many studs, saw a good deal of
cattle, and talked to a wide variety of people.
These cattle captured our attention.
We purchased the
first heifer to come into the country directly
from Australia, and a large quantity of
embryos.
We took our heifer, Alpha Pepper, and began
traveling to many shows and fairs around the
nation. From
Iowa to New York, Vermont, Kentucky, Oklahoma,
Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and
South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and many other
places, we went and displayed, explaining who
and what Lowline Cattle are, their advantages
and their place in the industry.
We began
growing our herd and selling a few along the
way. We have raised Champion Bulls and
Heifers but our real passion is in production. We have grown to a rather good sized herd now
and have a great selection of Full-bloods and
Percentage cattle for sale.
We are also
marketing meat, and have a growing list of very
satisfied customers who say that the meat is
some of the very best they have ever had. The
tenderness and flavor has been tremendous. These cattle thrive on much
less feed than the
traditional full sized animals and Heartland Genetics believes
Lowlines have a very bright future ahead.
We
invite you to call and come take a look for
yourself. Our selection is extremely broad.
Hope to
hear from you soon!
