Miniature Zebu cattle are attracting increased attention both in the U.S. and abroad for a variety of reasons. Their diminutive size coupled with their friendly, gentle dispositions makes Miniature Zebu attractive as both private pets and as additions to petting zoos. Full grown Miniature Zebus weigh only 200 to 400 lbs, and stand no more than 42" tall (our herd bull is 34" tall).

Zebu cattle originated in India. In the United States They are sometimes called "Brahman" cattle. This breed is recognized by the distinctive hump on its shoulder. By 1950,There were about 28 different breeds or types of Zebu in the Indian subcontinent. Miniature Zebus are a pint-sized variant of their larger cousins who originated on the Indian island of Sri Lanka and are known in Hindu as the Nadudana or "small" cattle.Miniature zebu were not "bred down" from larger animals but are a unique species all their own.

Their coats range in color from white to dark gray or black, with red and spotted being much rarer colors; their horns come in a variety of shapes and sizes; and unlike their larger kin, whose ears droop, Minis have ears that stick straight out horizontally. Despite their delicate appearance, Miniature Zebus are stout, hardy little bovine that are resistant to a wide variety of diseases and insects. Their skin is tough, and the panniculus muscles beneath it that thare used for twitching, are wiry and well-developed. Obviously, the miniature zebu require much less acreage for grazing than do the full-sized versions, making them ideal for sites where space is low or where pastures are thin or water scarce. They require good shelter during cold weather but love the heat of summer.
