Haha that's awesome Poggle. What is the reason for having small cows? Are they pets?
They are bred as a dule purpose product for those who have smaller acreage. Or as i like to call then blockies

HAHA that is so cool. If I didn't live in town then I would defiantly get one of these to mow the lawn lol. I might check that up actually as people can have chickens and ducks goats ect and it is A rural farming sort of town.

How can i get one? Are they expensive? If they cost less than my lawn getting mowed fortnightly plus a side of beef then i want one!
For real, are they regularly available? And how much?

Were they brought about the same way as dexters were by the Angus breeders
Short History Lesson in Miniture Dexters
Due to constant line breeding (otherwise known as inbreeding) a small proportion of calves were small and had terrible growth rates, the Angus breeders Association as clever as they are (McAngus burger) decided that instead of euthanising which was the common practise at the time that they would try breeding two minis and see what happened. 3 years later a small (but not as small as they are now ) cow gave birth to an even smaller calf.
Wala a new breed is born but lessons not learnt.

Gordo, we have them readily available usually :S depending on size and colour, sex and whether they are polled or not they vary from 330 - 1800.
Originally same as all minitures, yes they are bred down from runts, or smaller genetics. Breeding smaller does have some complilcations, such as joint issues, the cattle i retain i have bred this out of. I have chosen to keep mini's with and with out horns as they display solid and good conformation, where as some breeders will sell off anything with horns cheap and keep polled cattle with crap posture. I refuse to breed problem genetics there for i only keep good solid animals.

cheers ive always loved the fact it looks like someone had a cow that got chopped in half and decided to sew a different middle back in. How did they get the stripe any ideas on the ancestry.
