Miniature cows are selectively bred to achieve their smaller size while maintaining specific breed traits and attributes. There are different sizes of mini, based on the height at 3 years old: Micro Mini under 36”; Miniature between 36.25”- 42”, and Mid Size between 43” – 48”.
This chart is a great visual explanation published by the International Miniature Cattle Breeder Registry (IMCBR).
We find a lot of benefits in registering the animals that are born on the farm. It provides transparency to our clients. It accounts for traceability on genetics, traits and performance. When you buy an animal from us, the registration is transferred to you as a gift from us, so you can have all their records as well as continue the practice in case you decide to breed as well. We register with IMCBR, AHCA, HHCA, MMDA as appropriate.
All our animals are on pasture 24×7, with access to shelter, shade and very refreshing sprinklers for the summer days. During dry seasons we supplement with excellent local quality hay and the minimum required high quality cattle feed to keep them on a good nutritional score. And they loooove the feed, so it is a great treat for them as well as a strategy for easy cattle management.
Of course! I will love to help you get started or expand to new genetics in your herd.

All our herd sire and dams are either born in our Ranch or have been brought to our farm from either a very reputable breeder or and have gone through our socializing and training program to become a safe, friendly and trustworthy animal when producing new babies and future herd sires and dams.
Indeed, they are! They love hugs, scratches, and treats from your hand. They are perfect for petting zoo, for kids, for new homesteaders and farmers and for shows.
If the animal is registered, you will have a digital registration certificate as well as transfership of her/his registration. We also provide DNA test report, health records (vaccinations, deworming, any issues or observations recorded). We also prepare a digital photo book of your new animal and if shipping out of state, we also include veterinarian health certificate to travel out of state.
