Mini cows are cattle that mature at a smaller size than full-size breeds. True Mini Highlands and HighParks typically stand under 42 inches at the hip when grown, while keeping the same iconic Highland look.

MiniCows.com focuses on accurate, realistic mini cow information—not the misleading “small for now” calves often found online. We explain how minis are measured, what makes a cow a true mini, and which types fit best for families, hobby farms, and small ranches.
