2 out of 9 heifer calves for this calving.
One is unnamed and the other is 'Violet Crumble'......her Dam is Rosslyn Kit Kat' and this little heifer is oh, so sweet! And I don't mind a Voilet Crumble every now and then.

09/01/2025

So many of my girls clearly didn't get the memo....more heifers for 2024/early 2025, please.
Ebony Sweet Sundae calved a bull like so many others. Still my favourite 'S' cow by Cann Valley Nut Cracker out of Ebony Noelle.

Still soaking wet and a little stunned by being earth side, I am so happy with this delivery. It has taken 4 different bulls/sires to get this heifer calf. Year after year, Alycam Midnight had a bull. I can't complain as one of those bulls is our in-house sire, Ebony Quigley Down Under.....and this year, he turns 6!
This little baby is by Loc-Hi Philosophy, another bull we highly regard in our breeding program.

*** WE HAVE TO OFFER THE FOLLOWING ***

2025 will see a herd reduction for Ebony Lowlines with breeders needing to relocate. We would like to offer these genetics to other studs or as commercial stock for hobbyist before the decision will be made to let them go elsewhere.

Inspections are welcome. Cows/heifers who have calved will be sold un-joined. Bull calves will/are to be steered (we do not ring calves). Heifer calves from 2024 will be for sale at weaning and can be registered upon request.

Can help with delivery (depending on location, part or full delivery to new home. We have a 10x6 livestock trailer) - freight charge extra and will need to work around my places of employment and my daughter's day at TAFE.

We are taking EOI on our current show team, happy for collection after the 2025 show season ends. Although our show season is not mapped out at this stage.

Up to date with 7 in 1, Pesti (show team have all tested negative), Tick fever (except Rockstar and calves), back-lined just before Christmas with Dectomax.

Lots of broad ribbon winners amongst the bloodlines.

More photos to come.... slightly interrupted due to rain. Can sell individually or pairs/trios.

Pm for more details.

As quick as 2024 began, the end of 2024 arrived. Lots has happened during the year, highs and lows and then more highs.

We hope everyone is as relaxed as Scout and celebrates the beginning of 2025 in style, whether watching fireworks, waiting for the stroke of midnight or in your PJ's watching TV and sipping on your favourite beverage.

HaPpY NeW YeAr everyone!

37mm of rain fell this afternoon. A nice top up as the few warmer, muggy days had stressed the grass out a little. Followed by a stunning sunset.

24/12/2024

From Ebony Lowlines, we wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Travel safely to those travelling.
Thank you to fellow breeders, buyers, and all those who have enquired, or we have met throughout 2024. It has been a pleasure.

Looking into 2025 with paddocks of lush green grass, fat and content cows, bulls ready to work, and playful and cheeky calves. Fingers crossed 2025 remains green with feed, and the rain keeps coming back.

Introducing the full sister to our 2024 Ekka Grand Champion Bull, Ebony Tobruk.
Little miss (no name yet) arrived safely on 17th of December.

About this heifer and Tobruk.
Their Dam is Ebony New Attitude. Nat, as we call her, was the 2019 Supreme Small Breeds champion of the Toowoomba Royal Show. This was a very special moment for us as we had only joined the Australian Lowline society in June of 2015 and began showing in 2017.

Their sire, Loc-Hi Philosophy, is equally as special as Nat. Phil, as we call him, was Senior Champion Australian Lowline of the Toowoomba Royal Show in 2022, being beaten by our home bred bull Ebony Quigley Down Under for Grand Champion Lowline Bull.. Phil is our forever bull. His temperament is superb, and his conformation is spot on. With many members of our showteams over the last couple of years having multiple Phil progeny.

In 2020, we joined Nat and Phil for the first time, and the end result was a beautiful heifer called Ebony Symphony in 2021. She began her show career as a calf at foot at Pittsworth, Toowoomba and Beef 2021. Symphony was joined to Cann Valley Nut Cracker, and we eagerly waited for this calf to arrive. But sadly, about 6 weeks before it was due, we lost Symphony to a snake bite.

We are looking forward to seeing this new heifer grow, and hopefully, she is as successful as Tobruk.

And then there were 15. This little guy arrived on Saturday morning. I hope he has a big belly because his Dam has a lot of milk 🤣🤣

We are about halfway through calving for 2024. Not a single calf has been tagged. Way behind this year, but truthfully, not really worried. Only 4 heifers on the ground out of 15 calves.

We have some registered and unregistered heifers available if anyone is interested. Heifer U100 is unregistered and from the same line as our Ekka Grand Champ bull.

We have been MIA for the past week visiting a place where cattle roam freely and every house block has a grid at their entrance.
It is lovely to come home to long, green grass, fat shiny cows, and playful calves.

A quick storm this afternoon produced 56mm and filled our contours on the old cultivation paddock. Now the calves have somewhere to play for the next few days.

28/11/2024

Taking some time this afternoon to wander through the small mob of cows and heifers that has calved down already for 2024. Storms in the background and a light shower on dark.
This little heifer out of Ebony Mischief by Ebony Quigley Down Under is one of my favourite heifers for this year, thus far. She is just the sweetest and most inquisitive little girl. While taking her photo this afternoon, she strolled up and began licking my arm.

I'm trying to get my ducks all in a row 🤣.....so many Whistler ducks are calling our little place home. From the 9th of November until today, the 20th of November, we have scored 183mm of beautiful rain. I hope it is being shared around.

13/11/2024

Those playful feels. The babies were having some fun before the storm.

12/11/2024

Feeling grateful that the wonderful Mother Nature is sharing some beautiful rain with us. Since Saturday, we have had falls each day, giving us a total of 81mm. We certainly hope that others are receiving much needed rain as well. We know all too well the disappointing feeling when the rain doesn't fall as predicted or hoped.

03/11/2024

I am not so happy about the end of another weekend, but this little guy is none the wiser. Just over 24 hours old and full of energy.

Edited post:

We have on offer 5 head of registered Australian Lowlines.

The cows/heifers can be individual or as a package. 1 head is in calf, 1 has calved and 2 are not.
Rockstar and Tina are both halter broken, although it has been a while since they have been handled. Rockstar in calf to Loc-Hi Philosophy and Tina in calf to Quigley Down Under.

Thor is currently on stud duties and will be available when he has done the job. Thor is well travelled and handled as he has been apart of our showteam for the past 2 show seasons. Thor will be available by himself as he is related to the cows/heifers.

All vaccinations for 7 in 1 and Pesti are to date. All are tick vaccinated except for Reflection and Rockstar. Tick free area. Can help with delivery within a few hours of Pittsworth.
Photos are to be added to the post soon.

Please PM the page for more information.

PIC number is required.
