I was playing around on the web at work yesterday, and came across miniature cattle. They claim that these little guys (36"-42") reach finished weights much quicker and more efficiently than traditional large breed cattle.The USDA claims that their feed to weight ratio is 1/3 that of a larger breed ,they are docile and easily handled( hidden also) and will finish on just pasture. There were various breeds mentioned from mini jerseys to mini texas long horns. The price varied on breeds and locations from $750-(get ready for this) $35,000. I'm going to look into this some more and will post anything relevant that I find.There are some breeders of mini dexters in Ontario,And some mini breeders of angus and herefords in Alberta. Any one in alberta who would like to get into this sort of thing but does not have the land for it, just leave me a message and I'll get back to you...well back to the grind stone(there's a whole bunch of guys walking towards me with blank looks on their faces)
