They're about the size of a large dog! You say you're interested in raising your own cows but....Intimidated by regular size bulls and cows? Limited on how much land you own? This could be your answer! http://www.americanminiaturezebuassociation.org/
So...How Are They Measured
Miniature Zebu's are measured across their hip, at the highest point. The idea being that a 38 inch tall Miniature Zebu should be able to barely clear a 38 inch bar. Measuring at the hip has proven to be more accurate than the shoulder or wither measurements.
Mini Bulls!
Mini bulls! My son is a bull rider and a few of the rodeos I have attended with him up around Dallas actually buck these bulls for some of the younger, aspiring bull riders. They are quite cute but can be a bit ornery.
