Miniature Black
Angus cattle, or Lowline Angus cattle, developed in Australia through
decades of breeding and research, are ideal for small-acreage farms.
They are easy to care for and handle, need far less forage, and make
a lot less mess! They were originally developed for their efficiency,
producing proportionally more beef per amount of feed than their larger-sized
ancestors, and finishing out on grass alone, without the need for
fattening up at feed lots.
They
also have shorter gestation periods than the standard breeds,allowing
them to produce more calves in less time.
But
we love them because they are tame, easy to handle, and a lot of fun.
In addition, they count just as much toward your agricultural tax
exemption as the big ones!
We offer a small
selection of calves, bulls, heifers, or steers (depending on what
we get each year), and shipped frozen semen from our registered fullblood
American Lowline bull "Texas", who was bred by Mini Cows
West in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Though miniature cattle are higher priced
than many standard varieties, they make up for it in feed and labor
savings. Trust us, we know!
