A Miniature Hereford is a full blood Hereford. They are simply not as tall as the normal, ordinary Herefords you usually see today. Purebred Miniature Herefords are free of the dwarf gene and are registered with the American Hereford Association (AHA), just like their large counterparts; and their pedigrees within the AHA trace all the way back to when Hereford cattle first set foot on American soil.
Miniature Herefords, because of their smaller size, are much easier to handle compared to large cattle. They are beef cattle that require less space for comfortable living quarters and they eat far less food. They have a superior feed conversion! They also make great backyard pets and can even help you to obtain agricultural tax exempt status.
Extremely docile in nature, the minis are excellent for children or even the young at heart. A superb 4-H or FFA animal, they can help instill responsibility and a sense of accomplishment in a youngster.
We love our minis! Our minis are happiest when they are out in pasture. We rotationally graze our cows, ensuring they get plenty of sunshine and the most nutritious forage we can provide. We halter train all of our minis so they are easy to handle and well behaved.
