ARRIVALS

EXAMPLES

We chose these cattle for a number of reasons, starting with our climate here in southwest Florida, which is tropical and wet. Instead of choosing a breed for dry/cold weather, we chose a tropical species, so the animal would not be fighting the weather or other tropical pressures like poor forage, pests, and swampy, wet conditions that would challenge other breeds. We then started breeding for a beefier line, to make our cattle a good choice for the small acreage rancher. Our mini zebu cattle are able to produce organic beef from native pasture and forbs plants which are unable to be digested by so called "standard size" meat cattle. These cattle can tolerate heat, flies, and scrub forage and still gain weight.

We also have a line of mini zebus that are very small for the collectors. Ages, measurements, pictures and bloodline information can be found on our Mini Zebu Cattle link to the left. We have bred our small minis to be docile by bottle feeding them for collectors who wish to keep them as pets.
