Tracy.. downsize with these!

Farms downsize with miniature cows
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld ... 7757.story

With feed prices up, ranchers see the advantages of smaller breeds of bovines. Reporting from
Tekamah, Neb. -- Walking through their lowing herd of several hundred cattle, Ali and Kenny Petersen were like two Gullivers on a Lilliputian roundup.

The half-sized cows barely reached Kenny's waist. The ranch's border collie stared eye-to-eye with wandering calves.


"Aren't they sweet?" asked Ali, 52, shooing Half-Pint, Buttercup and a dozen other cattle across a holding pen. "They're my babies, every little one of them."

The Petersens once raised normal-sized bovines on this stretch of Nebraska's rolling eastern grasslands, but with skyrocketing feed costs, the couple decided to downsize.

I love the 1/2 pint name.

:lol:

Y'all are funny. Those are neat cows though. I wouldn't mind having one. Big cows are intimidating, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to have one that I could push around!

I thought that they would fit on your small farm.
