Miniature Cows

Did you now that Miniature cows and heifers are female! Miniature babies are called calves and miniature boys are bulls or steers?

Mini Cows " The Ladies" Of the ranch

Miniature Cows the heartbeat of our Ranch!

Each momma cow holds a very special place in our hearts. Day after day, she puts her whole heart into raising the best calf she can. Because of this, we know our ranch would not be the same without these incredible mommas. In many ways, they are the foundation of everything we do here at Xbar6. As a result, every new calf born here carries forward their legacy.

Miniature cows are not only gentle and manageable, but also full of personality. For example, some are curious and playful, while others are calm and nurturing. At the same time, they all bring a joy and happiness that only a cow can provide. In addition, their calm nature makes them a wonderful fit for small farms and rural properties.

Most importantly, our minis offer the reward of cattle ownership in a way that fits beautifully into everyday life. Overall, they are a blessing we never take for granted.
