Welcome to North Americas' website of Lincoln Red cattle!
Mr. Gordon Cook (a
past President)
"With a narrowing profit
margin, this highly competitive breed is proving to be a prime choice. These
cattle feed easily, gaining very readily without elaborate, expensive feeds.
Lincoln Red cows have a
very generous milk production. Lincoln Red steers have statistically proven
themselves as excellent competitors in weight gain and dressing percentages.
This rugged, heavy-coated breed is ideal for fluctuating weather patterns.
They can withstand cold temperatures without impeding growth and gain.
Another popular
attribute of the Lincoln Red is their manageability. This breed is
generally placid and calm, sires included. All of these qualities have made
them a very viable alternative to other beef breeds."
We would like to present to you the Lincoln Red. This
breed was recognized as a separate breed in the first volume of the Coates
Herd Book in 1822. The Lincoln Red is now a genetically protected foundation
breed in Canada and England.
Sound structure provides durability for the breed. A wide muzzle, wide
stance and sturdy feet and legs allow the deep bodied animal to adapt and
excel in virtually any environment. Low birth weights coupled with high milk
production reduce calving problems and insure superior weaning weights. They
are a low maintenance, low-input beef breed. We call them convenience
cattle.
