Lowline, in recent comparisons, score favourably in the efficiency of primal cut production when considering eye muscle to body weight ratio, producing nearly twice as much eye muscle as the other breeds.
Another significant attribute of the breed for the commercial beef market is the high yield percentage that Lowline provide. Figures provided by one butcher, who has been in the business for some 43 years, gave yield figures of 76.13% and 74.21% for pure-bred Lowline steers.
