definitely not a cow lol, and we do know a couple of hay producers. we are planning to hay our own fields as well as possibly purchase some. i’m not planning to own very many cattle, likely no more than 10 and definitely not until i have those pastures sorted. i have four large open fields for...

i got Clem for about $300 from my uncle who keeps a small herd of miniature Herefords so i guess i was lucky! ive seen some miniature cattle for about $1000 😅

i think i have one already for our goats? i’ll check and i’ll definitely watch her and see if anything changes and i need to treat her. for now i’m doing extra water changes and keeping birds out lol. this helps a lot!!

i don’t currently have a vet but i’ll definitely work on keeping the fowl out. her stool is looking a little better, it’s no longer light but it is still runny. i’ll also see about getting a vet appointment set up. thank you!

Her name is Clementine and she’s a bit of both! If I can I may milk her when she’s mature. I’m not sure how well mini cows do for dairy production. I definitely want to get some more cattle, but right now I don’t have the space or budget for more. I’m planning to get a miniature bull for her...

I'm new to keeping cattle and just found this site! I currently have a 3 month old mini Hereford heifer calf among other animals. I've never raised cattle before, so I just surf through articles and forums for advice.
