[QUOTE="Ann Bledsoe, post: 18295, member: 60"] I have Miniature Jerseys and a Mini Scottish Highland heifer. Most of the mini breeds stay in the 38"-42" range, but Mini Jerseys can go a little taller, up to 46". My Mini Jersey cows are currently bred to a 35" bull, in the hopes that we can reduce our size a little more. I expect my cows to be just as ulitarian as their standard counterparts. Unfortunately, it seems that most breeders of mini cattle don't like to think of them as small steaks. But ecomonically, they're a great alternative for the person with only a small amount of land -- 2-3 minis can be finished on the same amount of feed that 1 standard would take. There are several breeds available besides the Miniature Jersey, there are also Mini Herefords, Mini Belted Galloways, Sundogs, and Lowline (Mini Black Angus) to name a few. Here's some links that might be of interest [url]http://groups.yahoo.com/group/miniaturecattle/[/url] [url]http://www.minicattle.com/[/url] [url]http://miniaturejerseys.com/[/url] [url]http://www.miniaturejersey.com/index.html[/url] [url]http://www.midwestminiaturecattle.com/[/url] [/QUOTE]
