I was trying to figure out what I could raise on such a small farm besides the normal chickens, rabbits and pygmy goats. I do not want a bunch of hogs to worry about. One or two meat hogs are ok but any more than that and I create fencing and odor problems. So I figured why not Miniature Cattle?

Mostly kept as a hobby and only measuring under 42 inches tall, miniatures do have many advantages:

  • Small efficient beef for “backyard beef.”
  • Good pets to keep on small acreages as little as 1/2 acre.
  • Use to qualify property for agriculture use status.
