To me it matters how these "Miniature" breeds were developed. I remember when I had full sized Nubians we had a little doe that would have been maybe 20" at...
Dear David, I have seen a few head of Mini Zebu and I don't consider them a beef breed. I mean in the sense you can eat them, and it would be beef yes....

I couldn't agree more but don't say that on the ND lists or they will crucify you. I don't call milking with two little fingers into a tea cup, milking. Mine...
I have a 2 month old bull calf that's pretty small - 20+ inches and he has found a way to climb thru my 4 1/2 foot tall 6 stand barb wire like it's not there....
One of my friends' cow died and the cause was a WalMart bag it ate. This cow was in a field near a road and most likely someone threw the bag out of a car....
That's why I'm getting that high tensile (spelling?) hot wire. I'm guaranteed they absolutely will not touch it once they touch it once. I don't like barbed...

God, I'm so humbled. Thank you so much for the rave review. Too bad the parmesan takes so long to age (min. of 4-6 months). I'm so pleased to know that you...

Thanks you for saying that. Yes, Miniature Jerseys were the original Jersey and man decided that since the milk was so rich, they should be able to get more...
The first mini-cow I ever went to buy was a mini-Zebu. She was small but she was WILD and wound-up-tight like a deer AND she had major horns. She had a rope...
Got to agree with you wholeheartedly. With my mini Herefords, horns are not a big issue and if you treat them right from birth to maturity, neither is the...
