Must be crazy...I just got two goats and am still learning about them...but I have always wanted a cow too.... How different it is to keep a cow???

She sure is cute!

Cows are a bit easier to look after than goats are...the fencing requirements aren't as big of an issue, but they do eat more than a goat, and they won't eat what goats like to eat.

Basically, in a nut-shell that's about it.

I just told DH how easy it is...and he laughed. Guess one of us has to be realistic...or we'd end up a whole farm of animals.... She is cute and....

I've never heard of a belted jersey-- I'm guesing she's a belted galloway crossed with a mini jersey.

I'd hate to see the height of the ladder they stood on to take that picture.

She is cute. I did not know that there were miniature cows-how does their grown weight compare to a standard size?

much smaller

I know of Mini Jerseys and mini Herfs.

Basically they are nothing different than dwarfs.

Both have associations- you can google.

30-36" height is normal for them.

Get. Her.

If DH says no, send her this way

I've been thinking about Galloways, but wondering what I would do if I couldn't get it to settle bred AI. I could live with that look!. Keeping a goat compared to a cow is sort of like the difference between having a dog and a cat. You gotta make some adjustments, but it's all good.

Galloways will eat most things a goat eats including branches and twigs

Sorry but dont like mini cattle esp the price $2000 for half a crossbred cow
