yes - that's right about the small beef cattle. That's why we have the Lowlines!

and I have written him (when we first started) multiple times & there was no response.
Thanks, KC

These are not dwarves.  A dwarf is one that has a deformity gene....like the bulldog gene.  He has been breeding for decades and has very healthy beef type mini cattle.  If it were me, I would go directly to Ralph via email or phone and ask him all the questions you have.  Mini beef cattle make as much sense as mini dairy cattle.  You feed 1/3 the food on 1/3 the land and get 2/3 the product of the large cattle.  Plus, they ready up faster so you don't spend 18 months to 2 years feeding them in order to have meat on your table or in your freezer.  Ideal for small family farms.

and it never did make sense to me......
and I tried to contact him with questions a few years ago - and he never answers?

This is for a family who WANTS as small a cow as possible.....they just lost their old short-legged red Dexter cross cow to old age (18) she was a pet, and spoiled rotten.  They have a tiny Sundog? Bull they breed to every year for small calves that the children raise...steers go to freezer.  Must be reasonable priced, as this will be puchased for the family as a surprise gift by the friends and family and church.  Can be any age under 8 yrs.   Call 509-422-6388  or email me    lazyb@amerion.com

They aren't Zebu crosss.  He's been doing this for years.  They are beef minis for the most part.  Almost like a Mini Beefmaster and really hardy.

Hi:
 
You can get all the details from Mother Marija: marija@...
 
The calf was just born, maybe a week ago?  She is very tiny and her canon bone is only 4.5 inches, so she will stay nice and small. I can't remember if the dam is 41" or smaller.  They do milk, so I know they bottle feed their other little calves and sell them as bottle babies.  I can only figure they will do the same with this little one.  I can't remember where the Monestary is exactly.  They also raise mini horses and sheep.  They take such good care of their animals and just adore these little Jerseys, so I never mind referring them to people.
 
K.C.

I am not sure where to start there are soooooooo many people to thank for the amazing summer/fall show season. In spite of the financial downturn in the economy, the Miniature Zebu Cattle shows and sales have continued to grow, this thanks to the hard working volunteers and board of the AMZA. 
 
We had 120+ entries at the State Fair of Texas, Dallas TX and the AMZA National Show, Louisiana State Fair in Shreveport, LA. Many thanks to Larry Munchrath, show superintendent of the State Fair of Texas and Roger Maxwell, show superintendent of the Louisiana State Fair, for all their hard work and for two successful shows, second to none.
 
Everything went smooth as glass, weather was beautiful and the quality of animals continues to get better and better and competition continues to get harder and harder! Wow, we all should be proud of the strides we have made in the quality, disposition and consistency that the shows have done to improve and promote the Miniature Zebu Breed.  
 
Just five short years ago we struggled to get 40 entries to hold a sanctioned show, now we have three times that number of entries with quality animals that exemplify what a Miniature Zebu is and why they are the cattle of the future.
 
I want to thank Jim Mannos for all his hard work, the AMZA has grown in such leaps and bounds that he has been working hard to keep up, but doing an amazing job. I always say, the AMZA may not be the oldest Miniature Zebu Registry, and it may not be the largest in number of animals in the data base, but I think it goes without saying, the AMZA is the BEST Miniature Zebu Registry because it goes beyond just registering your animals and taking your money.
 
The AMZA pays out over $10,000.00 a year in Premiums that go back to AMZA members only at the highly coveted show venues like: Florida State Fair, Tampa FL. Colorado State Fair, Pueblo, CO. Texas State Fair, Dallas, TX. Louisiana State Fair, Shreveport, LA.
Red River Valley Fair, Paris, TX Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, Houston, TX as well as the
Run for the Roses Show, Lancaster, TX and the wonderful, Ze' Orange DeLite, Ocala, FL.
 
The AMZA has trained and licensed our own quality judges that know and understand the distinct and important breed character of the Miniature Zebu.
 
The AMZA has implemented our Official Height Measuring and Frame Scoring program.
 
I am currently working on all the updates of the PGCH (Permanent Grand Champion) and MCH (Master Champion) animals and hope to have all the new qualified animals updated soon.
 
Larry Munchrath has done an amazing job with the AMZA website, www.amzaonline.com and now Bernie Keasler is helping him to give the web site an whole new face and look, thanks to both of you!
 
Debbie Ganschow has taken over the Nadu-Zebu Journal and did a wonderful job on her first issue, for those of you who haven't received it yet, it will be in the mail ASAP! Thank you Debbie for all you do, your a sweetheart and we love you.
 
Our 2009 National Show in Shreveport was an absolute, amazing success, Harrah's Casino hosted a free dinner buffet on Thursday night for all the exhibitors, thanks to Roger, Alma and Cody Maxwell who pulled strings to get 50 of us in for a wonderful meal. Alma made beautiful exhibitors gift bags filled with great gifts, snacks etc. Friday, the Louisiana Zebu Ladies fixed an incredible luncheon for everyone with home made food and desserts that rivaled any 4 star restaurant! The Pruitt family brought home made goat cheese dips and desserts that were out of this world! Thank you, thank you, thank you. We went on to have the traditional Tony's Seafood/Louisiana Seafood Dinner, awards banquet and Bingo on Friday night. Mike Pizolotto and John did their usual Louisiana Seafood Dinner that is out of this world! Fresh fried Catfish, awesome crawfish ettoufee on rice, boudain balls, salad and more. For those of you who have never experienced Mikes food, I feel sorry for you! Thanks Mike and John, we love and appreciate you more than you will ever know. Mike donates all the food and his time to the AMZA for this special event every year, surely he has a place in Heaven! Not only was the food amazing, bountiful and generous, but so was the fellowship and friendship from our exhibitors.
 
Kathleen Schmidt, Dunnellon, FL. graciously judged our club show and did a wonderful job. No easy feat judging over 100 head of cattle at your first gig, but Kathleen proved she is one of us and here for the long haul. Thanks to Kathleen and her husband John, for coming to Louisiana and helping us with our most successful National Show ever.
 
Congratulations to all the winners of all three shows and thanks to all the exhibitors who worked hard and supported the show. Without you, our AMZA members the shows would be nothing, our hats off to all of you for your support to the AMZA and dedication to the breed.
 
Many, many people step up to the plate and do their share to make the shows successful, run smoothly and make the shows a quality, family experience. I know I have failed to mentioned the names of many of you and for that I apologize. But.. please know your sacrifice and hard work don't go unnoticed or unappreciated. It takes many hard working AMZA members to put on a successful show and I want to personally thank you all for your contributions.
 
We had many wonderful donations to the Bingo also, and I want to again express the appreciation we have for those of you who brought items. The Bingo is a fund raise to help finance the show and your participation helps more than you know.
 
I will have the show results for all the shows up ASAP, thanks again to everyone. I love you all and hope to see you soon.
 
Don't forget the Houston Livestock Show and the Florida State Fair! Go to www.amzaonline.com for more info.
 
David

For many years, Kerry and Dexter cows were kept in the same registry. In 1957, the name American Kerry and Dexter Club was changed to American Dexter Cattle Association. There had been no Kerry registrations since 1920.
 
Kerry cows are generally taller and more of a dairy style, while the Dexter cows have a more dual purpose nature. They're shorter and beefier.
 
Other than that, they're very similar. It's hard to tell them apart from a picture.

Does anyone here own a Kerry that they are using for a family milk cow?  If so
can you please tell me how she is to handle and how much milk you are getting. 
It seems that Kerry cows are a bit bigger than I had thought they were.  Are
they even considered a miniature cow?

Thank you,
Marsha

Hi All,

Kerry cattle are critically rare and should be given highest priority.  If you
take these Kerrys, please become involved with the American Livestock
Conservancy:

http://www.albc-usa.org/cpl/wtchlist.html

The gene pool is too low to breed cows to anything but a purebred bull.  So, it
would be great if the group could be kept together.

If you do not want the Kerrys, we do have a purebred Kerry bull and hope to buy
Kerry heifers next year.

Have a wonderful evening.

This sounds like quite an opportunity! I looked these up, also, and the only concern I would have is regarding a line from one site (I think the Conservancy): "Although a good fit for small farms, the active nature of Kerry cattle makes them best suited for experienced cattle farmers." Because I don't know what this means and "active nature" could mean a lot of things, I'd look up the people who own them and ask them a few questions about temperament. I'm sure they'd love to talk about their cows (I always do). I would also advise caution on taking on a bull, if you've not had a lot of experience with them. Good luck!

Hi I'm fairly new to this list. We have been looking for and hoping to afford a Mini-Jersey for a family cow. However just recently we were made aware of an opportunity that we probably should not pass up.

Someone is giving away a cow and a bull and possible a calf - all registered Kerry cows - in return she would like some young stock back in a couple of years. I have not seen them yet. I know nothing about this breed as I have been knee deep in researching the Mini-Jersey.

Would someone please share anything and everything you know about this breed. Are they as good natured as the Jersey. How is their milk? How big do they get? Are they a good choice for a family cow? Is there a market for this breed. I will of course google this breed, but thought I would ask here also.

Thank you in advance for any info,
Marsha

We got a phone call today from some people who's father past away a while back.. They said they have 15 - 20 horses &  ponies, 1 mule & 1 Draft Horse gelding that they need to sell. They do not want them to go to the auction. Their father was a horse lover and has raised these from babies. There are yearlings, weanling's, and a few older horses. Some broke & some not broke. They are all colors Black & White , Buckskin, Dun, Brown & White, Palomino & White a Red Roan. Since the father has been sick & the kids live out of state a few of these horses need some TLC . Most of them are in good shape . Most of them are broke to lead as babies but been running in a 150 acres of timber & pasture. We are going to take pictures & worm, vaccinate, and sex them all over then next few days . We will have the pictures on our web site www.zeigelrliverstocktransport.com  under rescue horses.  The prices on all horses are $600.00 this will include coggins test, health papers & shipping to anywhere with in the 48 states.  We are doing this to help these people out.

The clock has been turned back and my wee cows are staring at the house
wondering "when in the heck is she coming out to see us!"  It is windy and cold
and yesterday we got enough snow to cover the ground for Halloween!  So sleeping
in was a pleasant luxury.  I hear the weather is to improve this week and warm
up!!!  Hopefully our above average rain for the month of Oct. will not spill
over into Nov.
  With winter coming I still have to prune down my herd and have a few select wee
cows for sale.  Hay making was tough this year and I want to make sure I have
enough to get thru winter to spring.  I have two half belted cows that may be
bred to my LowLine bull and they themselves are half and 3/4 blood with that
splash of mini belted galloway tossed in for good measure..hence the half belt. 
The two cows are mother and dtr. and have produced nice calves.  I also have a
Highland bull calf out of my smaller/mid sized Highland cow and bull...all
reddish orange in color.  And to the right home to who may appreciate a personal
milk cow my half LowLine X Holstein cow named "Goose"...milks from either side
and doesn't kick and always a crowd pleaser pest, she is bred back to my
Highland bull for a possible fuzzy grey calf come late spring.  She comes when
called and follows you anywhere...she is roughly 48" tall at the shoulder and
was milking around 40#s of milk this summer till I bred her and sold her bull
calf "Zulu".  Very calm and easy going but I will be choosy as to where she
goes.  I want to flush my LowLine cow this winter and concentrate on my
fullbloods and hand picking of my smaller statured Highlands.  Hope this finds
you all looking forward to a nice Thanksgiving the end of the month!  If you
wish my # is 715-678-2237, I live in north central WI, and would be happy to
chat small cows! :)

Holly
