The best part of having miniature cattle are the new born calves. This could not be possible with out the cows. We really enjoy our cows and always have favorites in the pasture. Not all are pictured but you can see what we are trying to do. Take a look at some of the girls in our herd.
We try to keep a wide color variety of cows, including solid colors. We just like to see calves come out all different colors. We have some cows that have multiple generations of color. I think we could breed these cows to bulls almost any color and get some real flashy calves. We have been building our cow herd for over 25 years, and it shows in the up in the pasture.
Sugar Plum is my favorite cow. She is a 2008 model and has some of the nicest calves on the place. She have 4 daughters, 8 grand-daughters and 2 great grand-daughters and 2 sons, 1 great-grandson in the herd. She is a goldmine for our herd. Pictured with her 2019 Bullfrog heifer. Bred to Podunk for 2021.
Sugar Bottom is a 2011 model that bred as a yearling. We have 3 daughters, 1 grand-daughter and 1 grandson out of her line. She is a laid back cow with great calves out of any bull. She has enough color to pass that on to her offspring. Wish I had 10 more cows like her. The first daughter out of Sugar Plum above, she is something. Pictured here as a 3 yr old. Sired by Sugar Cain, she is only 35 inches tall (across the back, at the hips). Bred back to Podunk for 2021.
Bottoms Up is a 2014 model by Rascal (29inches/180lbs). Her colorful lineback pattern makes her stand out in the pasture. She had a super little heifer we called Monica in 2017. Only 18.5 in/19lbs. This is a strong maternal family line that really shows in our herd. Pictured with her bull calf by Ted in 2018 is a dandy as well. Bred back to Podunk for 2021.
Punkin is a 2015 model out of Sugar Bottom (above) by Hombre. She is an October 2015 model, pictured with her first calf in 2018. Her flashy color pattern and great personality make her a great addition to the pasture. Can't wait to see what she can do for our herd. She is bred back to Podunk for 2021.
Sugar N'Spice is a 2012 model that is just as nice as her full sister above (Sugar Bottom). Less spots but her conformation is just as good. She was only 15 lbs when she was born. She has been a greatmother and had some great calves. Pearle below is a great example of what she can do. She should have a great calf no mtter what bull she is bred to.Pictured with her 2019 bull calf by Bullfrog. Bred to PoDunk for 2021.
Mini Pearle, a 2016 model. She has the frame and color we have been breeding for. She had a great little bull calf in 2019. She is a good one. She has everything a person is looking for. She is a brindle white park. My guess is she will speckle up more every year. Look for more from this great little cow. Bred to Podunk for 2021.
Talia is a 2016 model. Hard to believe this is only the 3rd daughter out of Sugar Plum. Her sire is Boone. She gave us this super heifer calf in 2018 and another in 2019. She has matured at 34 inches tall.This girl is as perfect as you can get. She is going to be an awesome cow. Quiet personality, great conformation, super udder. We love this girl. Bred back to Red Rum for 2021.
Katrina, a 2012 model out of Millie by Sugar Cain. Pictured here with her 2019 bull calf sired by Moose. This is a super little cow. She bred as a yearling and has had great calves every year. She will definitely contribute to the herd for many years. She has brindle spots and passed that color on to all her calves. Bred back to Rock Bottom for 2021.
Fergie is a great little 2016 model. She had a very small and colorful heifer in 2019 and we only expect more of the same for years to come. She has it all. Color. Size. Disposition. She is out of Katrina by Choncho. A speckled and spotted brindle, I can't imagine her having anything but a colored calf. Bred to Podunk for 2021.
Glory is a 2013 model and full sister to Katrina. We sold her as a calf and had the opportunity to buy her back. She was dehorned when sold as a calf. She the same great color, disposition and conformation as Katrina. Her first calf , Stella, is a spitting image of her. She is bred back to Rock Bottom for 2021.
Mya is a 2015 model. She is the 3rd daughter out of Millie. She is sired by Hombre, same sire as Punkin. I love her lineback color pattern plus her brindle coloring. We need some more of that. Mya is a great first calf heifer with a nice udder. Her first bull calf is going to be a nice one. Bred back to Podunk for 2021.
Frostie is a great cow. A 2008 model who has had some great calves for us. Pictured with her 2013 bull calf. Snookie (below) is her 2010 heifer. Frostie is only 37 inches tall. She will be in the herd for years to come. A great example of what we are trying to do. You could put any bull on this cow and she will give you a keeper. Bred to Podunk for 2021.
Snookie a great 2010 cow and daughter of Frostie above. She is definitley a contributor to our herd. Her 2013 bull calf, Ted, has been used multiple seasons and we like what we are seeing. Her 2019 heifer by Hurricane was great, her 2020 heifer by Red-Handed is a keeper, I need more like this cow. Bred to Rock Bottom for 2021.
Shelby is a 2011 model that goes back to one of our foundation cows we bought in 1997. A splash of white really makes her standout in the pasture. Pictured with her 2018 Hurricane bull calf. Her 2019 bull calf, Red Rum, is amazing. We can hardly wait for him to mature. This is a great cow under 35 inches tall. She is bred back to Podunk for 2021.
Susie-Q is a 2017 model. Out of a white park colored cow and by Tyson. She was 21 inches and 28 lbs when born, and is a great 36 inch cow. Pictured at two years old. I have sold her mother and probably shouldn't have. Whoops! She had a great little bull calf in 2020 by Podunk. Bred back the same way for 2021.
Rose, 2014 model pictured here is a Vanillie daughter by Sugar Cain. She is a great looking cow. She had a great bull calf in 2017 (Red Handed) and a perfect heifer in 2018. She is a gem in the pasture. She has great color and nearly perfect conformation, a real producer. Bred to Podunk for 2020.
Pitch is a 2011 model. She is 36 inches tall and black as pitch! Not a speck of white on her. All of her calves have been very colorful. She has produced some nice animals for us. She has had some great calves for us. Bred back to Rock Bottom for 2021.
Kalamazoo, a 2010 model, is a beautiful blonde. Who doesn't like blondes? She has had lots of calves with a wide range of colors and color patterns. She is only about 35 inches tall, long flowing tail and a real nice blonde brindle. Bred to Rock Bottom for 2021.
Minnie is a 2011 model and measures right around 33 inches and weighs 265 lbs. She goes back to VP, same sire as Shelby. Small and correct in every way. She had all bulls so far, all with herd sire potential. Just a matter of time until we can see what they will do. Bred to Red Rum for 2021.
Indi is a 2014 model. We traded a bull calf for her. She is pictured with her first calf(Podunk) sired by Ted. She has had 3 bulls in a row. Finally had a heifer, a full sister to Podunk and a keeper. She has gone back to her orginal owner carrying a Rock Bottom baby, I thinks its going to be a good one.
Salt Roxie is another one of our smallest cows. She is the ugly duckling of the herd but she is a pretty good cow. Two calves so far. Wish I had them both but we can't keep them all. Maybe her 2021 calf will stay with us. Bred to Red Rum for 2021.
More cows are running on the farm. We have almost all the females pictured here but wait for our first calf heifers to calve before they make the cow page. We have a great group of females that are even better in the pasture. All are nice cows and heifers that have something to offer our breeding program.
