Minature Zebu Cattle

Miniature Zebu Cattle can best be described as exotic. All Zebu Cattle originated in India. Miniature Zebu Cattle are one of the oldest cattle breeds in the world, dating back to 6000 B.C.! To be classified as a Miniature Zebu, their height can not exceed 42", but most breeders strive to produce cattle in the 34" to 38" range. Mature Miniature Zebu cows will weigh 300-400 pounds with Miniature Zebu bulls ranging from 400-600 pounds. Miniature Zebu colors will range from black, red, spotted or steel gray to almost pure white. In Miniature Zebu bulls, the neck, shoulders and hump may be nearly black. Gray is the most common color. Miniature Zebu Cattle differ from small or dwarf cattle in that they are a natural breed. Miniature Zebu Cattle are just bred to be tinier and are not just the results of a breeding gone bad. Miniature Zebu Cattle are much easier on the land, fencing, equipment and are considerably safer for children to be around.
