Thank you! I am pretty fond of them too lol. Bless you!!
Yes! This is what I want! I want I think I’ll only be able to handle small scale livestock and I’ve been really curious about mini cows.
Also that nosy pony is adorable!
We actually found the pony his perfect home as my kids have moved on to bigger horses! I miss him but he’s got 3 little to love on him now. We have had bigger cows and I’m honestly in love with my mini cattle! They are so easy on my land and equipment and so friendly!
Your pony is fixing to make a believer out of you.lol.
He did bite me. I had to edit it out cause I said some not nice things 😆😆
Great video. Fantastic information. Thank you so much for sharing
You’re welcome!
Wow!! Guess you really aren't too old to learn something new. That was very interesting. Thank you very much. God bless and Love from Mississippi.
Lol I learn stuff everyday. Bless you ❤️❤️
Thank you for this video. Very informative and give us something to think about in expanding into livestock.
You’re welcome! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
You made a lot of good points for raising miniature cattle.
Just thought I’d share ❤️
I have a Zebu Bull and 2 mini lowline Black Angus.
You can raise mini f1 crosses! We bought a lowline cow last spring
That was interesting.
Learned something new today.
Huge love 💖 from Canada.
I’ve learned a lot from these little turds lol. ❤️❤️
Great mini Zebu info...
Thank you!
Good morning and thank you for sharing. We will be venturing in to raising cattle next year so this will help. Have a great day.
I sure hope this helps with your decisions! Have a blessed day❤️
Thank you for taking your time to make this very informative vlog!
Thank you for watching it!
Oh so cute I love the Animals and your videos.
Thank you ❤️❤️
Hi , i was sent over by Jason Crocker, he said stop buying up all the mini zebu so they can get some 😄! Thanks for sharing a very nice video on your Zebu cows , 😊👍💕💕💕
Mini zebus are like potato chips, you gotta have the whole bag lol. Thank you for watching
@@TheChittys you are welcome 😊
Wow! Thank-you for the very informed tutorial! Making me think about some miniature cows! Im going to subscribe to your channel! Jason recommend to check you out! I love it!
They are one of the best decisions we’ve made for our place! Thanks for the sub! Jason is a good guy!
Wow thank you for all the information about mini cows! I am definitely going to look into them for my homestead.
They are perfect for small acreage like you have!
Hi, Jason Crocker sent me over and said you all need to quit taking all the Zebu cattle so he can find some. Glad he sent me over because your channel looks great so I subscribed so I can get all notifications and keep up with your homestead!
Thank you Patsy! Jason is just going to have to move on them faster lol
Thanks for the information. I liked your video very much. :) I like the idea that they are naturally small animals.
We live in Southern California where it reaches up to 114 in the summer. Sounds as though Zebus might be a good bet.
2 questions:
1. You didn't say anything about milking them. Are they only raised for meat (and pets)?
2. We have half an acre. Is that enough land for a zebu or two?
Thank you! They do handle the heat well but I would suggest getting animals that are from a similar region. They will tolerate the move better. You can milk zebus, I just haven’t purchased any with the intention of doing so. I think with proper grass management and good pen rotation, 1/2 acre would would out great for a couple Zebu.
Mornin a friend of mine has some mini cows....... I got too many trees no grass have a good day looks like a Brahama Beautiful
They are actually Bos Indicus like full size brahmas. They are just the smallest variety lol. We love them! Have a great day ❤️
@Lazy C Homestead, the scientific name is actually Bos namadicus indicus, making the zebu the only extant subspecies of Paleotropical Aurochs (Bos namadicus), which is extinct in the wild, the Domestic Cattle (Bos primigenius taurus) is the only extant subspecies of Palearctic Aurochs (Bos primigenius), indicating that the Domestic Cattle (Bos primigenius taurus) and Zebu (Bos namadicus indicus) evolved their domesticated lifestyle independently, a major example of convergent evolution, much similar to the evolution of sloths, with tree sloths being a polyphyletic group as the Two-Toed Sloths (genus Choloepus and family Choloepodidae) are more closely related to extinct ground sloths that are in the family Mylodontidae, while Three-Toed Sloths (genus Bradypus and family Bradypodidae) are more closely related to extinct ground sloths that are in the families Megalonychidae and Megatheriidae.
very interesting
Great points and I found this informative: I want cows but not enough land so hoping someday. Also hoping to get some mini cows
You’ll need hairy cows for up there 😆😆. Highlands have the best beef I’ve ever eaten!
i love your mini cows they are so cute compared to our big ones
Lol everything is cuter in a mini version! Except skirts 😆😆
Found Elvis Presley yep the horse no s***
He’s got great hair lol
Are you needing a bobcat and a loader no problem
Occasionally we need something like that. But we make due
Fun fact, look at cattle photos from the early 1900's you'll find they have increased in size since. Man always has to attempt to improve or change what's before him. Sometimes he succeeds sometimes not.
Considering miniature zebus are the smallest natural breed and one of the oldest developed breeds of cattle in the world, I don’t think they’ve been overly stylized. I have, in fact, admired pictures of cattle from even just 60 years ago. They were built well and very sturdy.
You mentioned you got one of your cows at auction, was that a regular cattle auction? Do you think they would get a few hundred at least since usually people there are interested in buying by weight?
It was a regular sale. We were there to look at some belted galloways and didn’t get to purchase any of them but we got a speckled park heifer. Now she was wilder than a rabid coyote, but that’s probably why she was there
Love your video! I have been looking into a mini zebu. Do they destroy trees?
Thank you! My zebus are the least destructive animals on the place!
I went to get 3 Zebu and ended up with 6. I would like to know how to register my bull if possible. I am in Woodward Co.
AMZA had a hardship register option. You’ll have to send pictures in for approval.
Jason says they want Zebu, please share the wealth and let Jason buy the next zebu find
He’s just going to have to move on them faster 😉
Greetings, God bless you, which country are you in?
I am located in the USA
Love your animals❤️
How much do the miniature zebu’s cost (approximately)?
Thank you! They are not horrible. You can find different qualities from $500-2500 in my area (6hour drive any direction)
I’m in Texas and looking at the Zebu. How many head per acre?
Well here in eastern Oklahoma you can usually keep 2-3 per acre with proper rotation but I don’t know your climate or what type of land you have. You can usually stock 2-3 mini zebus in the same space as one standard cow.
Angus will cycle at6 months
I’ve only got the one angus cow.
Have you tried to milk the Zebus or heard of someone who does?
I haven’t myself. I know there are lines that are more dairy than others, mine aren’t those. From what I’ve read, they should be a2/a2
How about the milk? Taste and production.
I’ve never had Zebu milk. From what I’ve read, they have a high butter fat and a2/a2 protein. But I don’t know from personal experience.
How did he break his leg
He was stolen and when we got him back, his leg was broke.
@10:45 what kind of cow is the white and black to the left of the zebu?
She’s a mid size mini white park/mini angus cross.
Hope your jersey zebu cross is a heifer
Make one heck of a milking girl! 🥰
How did you come up with your bulls name?
It’s actually his registered name. His breeder, Sooner State Zebus, names all their calves something oklahoma related.
Not much cuter than mini animals! We used to have a mini donkey. 🐴
I totally agree!
