Showing miniature cattle

[ckamp52]

My daughter is only 2 but she absolutely loves going to the farm and helping feed and help me work with the cattle. We were at the livestock show and she was living it up. I mentioned to my wife ,shortly after our daughter was born, I had seen a friend of a friend on the book of faces whose 4 yr old was showing mini Herefords. Does anyone on here have any experience in this? Obviously she isn't ready just yet but figured we would begin to do our research, so if anyone has any contacts or wouldn't mind sharing their knowledge we would appreciate it. I showed swine in the county shows but that's about it, but my wife thought it would be fun ( and I agree, but expensive) to have her get involved in this when the time comes if she is still interested. sorry for being long winded

I have a close friend that raises mini’s. Couple of his have won some big shows. If you are looking to buy or even just want some info on mini’s, shoot me a PM and I will give you his contact info. He would be glad to help you any way he could.

Buddy from college works for some people who raise and show mini Herefords and do pretty good at it. Pm me and I can put you in contact with him.

I good buddy of mine works for a guy that raises shows and sells mini Herefords as well as regular sized cattle. I don’t know anything about the minis but me and my sister grew up raising and showing. If you want some contact info for the mini Herefords just shoot me a PM.

I would be open to some information on showing in general. Doesn't have to be strictly about the minis. I grew up on a Hereford ranch I just never showed anything besides pigs a few years in school. I was always busy working on the ranch so I didn't have time to show consistently. I have an agriculture based degree, so I am familiar with animal structure etc but just need some help knowing the show side of it. I appreciate all the input and will be sending pm's for contacts. thanks guys

Miniature cattle....at least I finally figured out where Short Ribs come from!

I got into the mini hereford business back in the summer. It is for the granddaughter.
We own 3 and she has been to 4 shows. We are going to Houston in March. They are good animals for kids to be around. If you decide to get into it be sure you check the registration and DNA of any you buy. Our granddaughter is 5 and she loves it. Minis eat a whole lot less and require less pasture.
