There are 26 breeds of mini cattle and are all 42" or less at maturity. They are often used for small-scale milk production, as pets, or for breeding. Miniature cattle breeders are scattered all throughout the United States. Miniature cows cost $1,800 to $3,500 depending on the size, markings, and color.

These tiny fluffy cows are gentle, kind, friendly and cute much like a dog...just a smidge bigger. Not to mention, they will make for the best cuddle buddy in the winter. That being said, owning miniature cattle is a big commitment and responsibility. Obviously, they require daily feeding and attention. They also live as long as 20 years.
