He won the 325-350kg class and then went onto win Grand Champion Lightweight Steer. This is the first outing for RedLine Steers and what a fantastic way to launch the breed. This steer then went onto to be placed 2nd in his carcass class with a total of 88 points.

Incredible GeneStar Results for RedLine

Margo Hayes — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 09:54:38 +0000

Vitulus Red Express, who will be shown at at Royal Brisbane Show this year, is the No 1 ranking animal for the whole of the British Breed tested animals for Pfizer feed efficiency DNA test. He has a ranking in the top 1%. This is an incredible achievement but more importantly what it relates to is the ability to finish off grass and be feed efficient… just what the small breeds are all about.

Vitulus Full Force, who is our next star, ranked in the top 30% for feed efficiency and top 40% for tenderness. He will also be shown at the Ekka and we think he is outstanding.

Vitulus has continued its success in the carcass arena. A Vitulus Steer won the Champion Heavyweight Carcass of the Warwick Hoof and Hook competition. Both steers entered won their respective carcass classes. This competition only has Grand Champion Lightweight and Heavweight Carcass ..they do not have an overall winner.

Class 3 heavy domestic trade, milk teeth, 400-445 kg. This was a 18 month old Limo/Murray grey/lowline steer weighing 410kg.

Class 4 hotel and restaurant trade, no more than 2 teeth, 450-600kg. This was 24 month old Limo/Murray Grey/lowline steer weighing 530kg. He also won Grand Champion Heavyweight carcass. This steer was supposed to go to the Royal Brisbane Show but he cut his teeth on the day we were loading so I kept him going for this competition.

LowlineBeef.com.au wins approval at Sydney Show 2010

Margo Hayes — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 22:06:48 +0000

As part of the 2010 feature breed status at Royal Sydney Show this year Vitulus was fortunate enough to be able to serve its own branded beef line to over 180 people on a daily basis. Each day the beef was featured in the Woolworths Food Dome with tastings provided to the general public. The beef was also used by the Celebrity Chefs in their special recipes. The meat provided was from purebred steers that MSA graded 3 ensuring the tenderness and tastiness that Lowline Beef is renown for. The feedback we received was fantastic with orders for the beef far outweighing our expectations
