I grew up on a farm and my parents raised cattle and I personally
raised a few beef calves from time to time.
Mark & I lived in Texas for ten & half years and raised Texas
Longhorn cattle for a time. Mark as a child stayed from time to time and helped on a dairy farm in Indiana.
In 1986 we started raising goats and after 22 years we decided it was time in our lives to get back to a more "user
friendly" animal for our retirement years.
We had studied miniature cattle breeds back in 1986
We were impressed with the look and excellent traits of miniature cattle. They are very
docile making them easy to handle. Most breeders will break their stock to lead making it even easier for handling.
They are hardy and will do great in the cold Indiana winters and also take the hot humid summers.
They are smaller
therefore their hooves don't tear up your land so much. They do well on land that is a little rugged that would be harder
for full size cattle to graze. Our property has some ravines and our minis are doing just fine!
They aren't picky
eaters a real plus!
We sold all our goats in early 2008, quickly
located miniature cattle breeders.
We wanted a miniature that wasn't a dwarf but just a miniature of their breed while maintaining all the qualities
of the breed its self.
We started our operation with registered stock. This has proven to be a learning curve.
We quickly came to the conclusion that the pricey registered stock was out of our budget reach as with most customers.
We decided to turn our operation goals into a more affordable operation. This doesn't
mean miniature cattle are "dirt cheap" after all they are miniatures and miniatures are few in numbers, this makes
the market value more. This simply means our stock without pedigrees will be less expensive than registered stock.
We are breeding for what we enjoy in size and color. Our stock will be our own style! 
We are really enjoying being "Mini
Moo" farmers, keep checking our web site as we will be updating it from time to time as our "Mini Moo" venture
grows, we plan on enjoying this venture to the fullest. At our age we've learned life is short, treasure each day
and enjoy what you do.
