Miniature Cattle are
fast becoming a larger craze then miniature horses, pot bellied pigs or
Alpaca. Thousands of American women are moving to small acreages and learning
the joys of these small cattle. Often times these Miniature Cattle are
purchased from large breeders that don't have the time to spend with them.
Miniature calves are purchased un-halter trained, or skittish. Some times the
breeder only wants to produce size, or numbers and temperament is not taken
into consideration. This leaves the new owner with little knowledge of
training miniature cattle, wanting to do more with their miniature cows.
Don't worry. Im here to help
you. After halter training there is lots of fun things you can do with your
miniature cattle. They can pull a buggy, learn tricks, or just be more fun to
be around because they are well behaved and have good manners.
Some Miniature cattle breeds
like the Dexter have been around a long time. Most have good temperaments to
start with. Dexters are ridden by children, pull carts and even perform tricks
in rodeos.
What ever miniature cattle
breed you have chosen don't limit your dreams. There is a world of fun waiting
for you.
