Tammy looks humiliated having to wear this garb. She
was the 2006 Texas Grand Champion Senior Cow (if you are into that
sort of thing). At 32" tall, she is among my smallest cows. She has
great calves and will have one sired by Diablo this year.
A 34" gray cow with lyre shaped horns that are very
popular, and an unusually large hump for a cow. Bulls generally have
a much larger hump than cows. Grey is my favorite
mini zebu color, becoming blue in winter and near white in summer.
This tiny red heifer should also turn gray as she ages (I hope).
I consider this cow the most beautiful in my herd.
She's nearly solid black with great conformation. She has produced
some great calves including Sugar on the calf page. Raven is 33"
tall.
A 33" tall gray cow with nice horns & hump as well
as a typical zebu head. She's a beauty. She had a nice 2010 heifer
calf.
Here's a very tiny heifer that is 27-1/2" tall at
two years old! She's also very correct. She's my smallest, but all
my cows are less than 35" tall. Look at the size of that hump
already!
Miniature Zebu cows have highly developed maternal
instincts and make excellent mothers. They are slower to develop
than regular sized cattle and usually do not breed until about 18
months of age, compared to normal sized cattle that breed at about
12 months of age. They are very fertile and produce plenty of milk
for the growing calf.
