Sher, I've seen them survive being weaned as early as two months, but most people do it from 5 to 7 months. I don't wean mine. It doesn't hurt the calf to stay...
Hey everyone; We just adopted a male Zebu bull a friend had. He's the greatest... His name is 'Otis' and he is a blast... Low key, and very friendly... We're...
Hi Tom.....California is a pretty pricey place to buy a zebu! It might actually be easier for you to buy one and have it shipped!! I will tell you from my...
Where does one get the metal ball caps that go on the tips of a steer's horns? Any website suggestions I can go to (if yes, what is the website address?) ...
KC, I had a 2nd e-mail from a friend of mine asking if I'd received the dwarfism testing information I had requested to SEE on the Lil Professor from Fonnie...
It's a little different if you are milking the mom. I take the calf and put it up at night at 3.5 months because otherwise, I don't get much milk. They start...
I don't think there is such a thing. However, you might try to hook up with Ralph Sowers and his Sundog cattle. I hear he's great to work with. Here's the...
Why are you sending this to me twice over different groups? K.C. ... From: "dustygal47" <dustygal47@...> To: <miniaturecattle@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...
Looking at a 5 week old calf ... his "future career" is to be a "saddle pony". Odd, but true! (grin) I have a pony ride business - do backyard birthday...
Hi, What breed is this calf? Some breeds are more aggressive than others. Are you sure this is the calf you want around kids? If his father is that aggressive...
Sher, Your plan is admirable, but you may be looking at the wrong calf. Especially so since his father is aggressive. That kind of behavior can be inherited. ...
Maybe we will have some for sale later in the spring but they will be a little less but like the message you got you get what you pay for. I started out and...

I bet Sher was thinking about something like this photo. Ron...
I'll bet you're right! I've seen photos like that myself. That must be a very gentle bull. My Brenn is gentle like that, but I'm still leery of putting a kid...
You may already be too late to bottle feed. You'll be lucky if a 5 week old calf that has been on his dam since birth will switch to the bottle. Not saying ...
...and that would be, I believe, Gene Kantak leading his Rg. Lowline bull with granson aboard! He raises Lowlines in Idaho under the name "Mini Cows West". ...
"...What breed is this calf?...Are you sure this is the calf you want around kids? If his father is that aggressive I would worry about the calf past age 1...
"...I've seen them survive being weaned as early as two months, but most people do it from 5 to 7 months..." Thanks - I want him to be healthy, so looking for...
Dori, If you go to the minicattle group website, http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/miniaturecattle/ and go into the photo section. This photo is under...
Thanks, Ron, for sending over that picture! Yes, very close - the difference between that photo and what we do, is there is a saddle for the kids. A horn to...
Oh, Ron, you're SO right!! Big booboo on my part. Gene has a photo very similar somewhere! Well, at least i"m right about it being a Lowline!! Dori ... ...
"...may already be too late to bottle feed....lucky if a 5 week old calf...will switch to the bottle. Not..."impossible", but...a challenge...." Thanks, Dori...
I wanted to let you all know that "Genebo" was hospitalized on Monday with a heart attack; I spoke with his wife last night and he was still in ICU, but the...
