Mini Cow, as the name suggests, are very small cows and stand up to 42″. They are exactly what they sound like; they are just regular cows but small in size. Their small size is due to their breeding methods; in this process, the breeding of cows takes place in a compact size. Therefore, as a result, these cows take a lot less space and eat and drink a lot more than a regular-sized cow. One of the essential reasons these cows are brought into existence is their affectionate and friendly nature, making them great pets.

Miniature cattle are herd animals that enjoy social stimulation. They are usually kept with other cattle, usually the same size, to avoid injury from fighting. However, they can also be kept with other species for promoting a healthy environment.
If you are wondering what a diet of a mini Hereford cattle should be, it is the same as a full size bovine but at a reduced volume. This implies that these cows consume fresh pasture or hay for nourishment and access to freshwater all the time. Generally, miniature cattle tend to consume two to four percent of their body weight and food every day.

So if you are planning to buy miniature cows for sale near me, you should be prepared for lower input cost from diet as well as equipment costs.
