All About Mini Cows

---

Miniature cattle are compact versions of standard cattle breeds, selectively bred to provide the benefits of traditional cattle but in a smaller, more manageable size. These mini cows are perfect for small farms, hobby farms, and families who want the unique experience of raising miniature cattle with fewer space and feed requirements. Known for their gentle temperament, miniature cattle make wonderful companions and add charm to any farm setting. 

 Among the popular miniature cattle breeds, Miniature Highland cattle stand out for their resilience and iconic look. With long, shaggy coats in colors like silver dun, red, and white, these miniature Highlands bring a distinctive presence to farms. Bred to remain compact, typically standing 36 to 42 inches tall, Miniature Highland cattle are hardy and adapt well to smaller farm spaces, making them a top choice for those interested in mini cows. 

Diet and Nutrition: Miniature cattle primarily eat grass and hay and are also adept at foraging for wild food sources in their pasture.  Housing and Space Requirements: - Require adequate pasture space for grazing and exercise. - Shelter should be provided to protect them from extreme weather conditions. Health and Veterinary Care: - Regular health check-ups and vaccinations are essential. - Maintain a clean environment to prevent diseases and parasites. 

Selective breeding is key to producing miniature cattle with desirable traits like size, temperament, and coat quality. Our breeding program includes careful genetic selection to promote the health and standards of the breed. For example, Leonardo, a Silver Dun Bull, is known for his exceptional Miniature Silver Dun genetics. By focusing on responsible breeding practices, we maintain and enhance the unique qualities that make miniature cattle so special.
