GENETICS:ONLINE
Index to selected GENETICS:ONLINE articles
LOWLINE:ONLINE was a newsletter produced by the Broken Arrow Low Line Stud last
century. Greg Rhodes has kindly donated the following writings to this site. Greg was
Principal of Broken Arrow GENETICS (BAG) for a period of time and has directed the
BALLS breeding program since 1993.
The Australian Lowline Improvement Potential - A seven-page booklet written by Greg
Rhodes (circa 1999 - updated February 2008) . Includes an analysis of the available
performance data pertaining to the Australian Lowline Foundation herd. (PDF file - 132 Kb)
Broken Arrow Open Day - 18 May 1996
We don't have the full open day program yet, but there have been some interesting
snippets discovered, from an historical perspective. Greg has been as unswerving in his
direction and dedication as Watson was 200 years ago. I doubt there is another person
in Australia who has studied world Angus history and genetics more in the last 13 + years
than he.
Files are as follows:
Lowline Online - Reprints
The original decision to just include G:O articles would mean these would be lost from
this site. We place them here untill we get a better home for them in digital format. The
ravages of time can be seen upon these documents, but it is unfortunate that the scope
of the Project does not allow for either their restoration or preservation. One option is to
donate them to the National Library after we have scanned their content - The Library was
on the mailing list for years and who knows where the gaps were. There was an
electronic email version as one stage and then a web only version. So much for the
history lesson.
