On our farm we ONLY have micro, and small miniature cattle.

Breeding dwarf genetics into a full size highland can sometimes result in disastrous large bodied, short legged cattle that generally have very short lifespans and health problems.

Our highlands have been bred down in size to the point that they are 1/2 to 1/3 the size of full size

Highlands, but still maintain the correct conformation needed to live a long natural life.

This is something that is unfortunately currently happening in the market due to such high demand, and the buyers are having to deal with the consequences.

We breed conformationally correct tiny cows that are able to live long lives, and reproduce naturally .

Chondro Status: On our farm, we breed chondro to non, or non to non. We never breed chondro to chondro.

Our non chondro carriers are extremely small miniatures compared to the majority of what is on the market.

Our chondro carriers are micro to small miniatures.

Every single one of our breeding stock weigh 1/2 to 1/3 the size of a traditional highland cow of the same age.

They are TRUE micro miniature and miniature high percentage highlands.

Our mini cows range from 50% to 97% Highland, and calves will be 70% and up.
