Am I the only one obsessed with miniature cows????

[DanceswLabs]

Yes, I have moved beyond crazy chicken lady. It started out with fantasizing about ducks and turkeys. Now, I confess that I have also had a few daydreams about mini cattle. It's a relief to know I am not the only one!

We raised Simmentals for years, but several years ago switched over to Angus bulls so now our cows are simmental/angus crosses. I like your longhorn cross .....I used to have several longhorn cross cows.

Any pics?

My parents own a Simmental cross cow, and she's one of their favorite cows, raising an awesome calf every year without assistance.

My small herd consists of:
"Cowgirl"- Texas Longhorn
"#80" - commercial Black Angus
"Joanna" - Black Angus x Saler
"Sarah" - registered Black Angus
"Purdy" - Black Angus x Texas Longhorn
"Kathy" - Black Angus x Black Angus/Hereford
"Christy" - Black Angus x Black Angus/Saler
"Raya" - Black Angus x Braunvieh

And the calves... No names yet!
Cowgirl's steer calf sired by a SimAngus
#80's heifer calf sired by a Black Angus x Braunvieh
Joanna's heifer calf sired by a SimAngus
Sarah's heifer sired by a Black Angus
Purdy miscarried her 2010 calf

Kathy's steer calf sired by a Black Angus
Christy's heifer calf sired by a "Balancer" (Black Angus x Gelbvieh)
Raya's steer calf sired by a Black Angus

And my three yearling heifers...
"Savannah" - Black Angus x Texas Longhorn, bred to a Black Angus
"Jasmine" - Black Angus x Black Angus/Texas Longhorn, bred to a Balancer
"Mikaela" - Black Angus x Black Angus/Saler, bred to a Black Angus

Sorry, I love talking about my cows, LOL.

As you can guess, my parents run Black Angus and Black Angus cross bulls, and we keep a lot of our heifers for replacements.

Yes, I've got a lot of pictures of our cattle. Some on here and quite a few on BackYardHerds. If you do a search of my name over there my threads with pictures will come up.

I am Obsessed with Mini Jersey Cows! If anybody has any pictures would love to see them!
We have 1 Full size Jersey milkcow, sweetest cow!

we have 2 calves on her during the day 1 of them is a heifer from our old milkcow that died.

She is Jersey X Angus solid black. The other one is a Bull Calf, half jersey also. The jersey cow came with 2 calves. We already have 2 calves so we gave two to our friends.

I love my mid-size Jersey. She just had a bull calf yesterday. His sire is a mini Jersey bull. I thought I would share a few pictures of him. He is the first mini Jersey calf I have had. He is so sweet.
