Introduction to Zebu Cattle

They are true Miniatures meaning they were not bred down but are naturally small. At maturity, Zebus measure 29 to 42 inches at the withers and weigh between 200 and 600 pounds. Zebu cattle are perfect for families with children! Many families want to own cattle but are intimidated by the size of many breeds.
Zebus offer a great opportunity for young children to care for and train an animal while giving them a sense of accomplishment.

They come in a variety of colors, including shades of white, gray, black, red and various patterns of painted, speckled, and brindled. Gray is the most common. They are slower to mature with a life span of 20 to 25 years. Zebu like to be on pasture with grass, are easy to care for, and do not require high protein supplements. They are great for small land owners as they can thrive on smaller acreage.

Zebu have excellent heat resistance and tolerate hot climates as well as cold climates. They are more resistant than other breeds to internal and external parasites.  Cows generally deliver without complications and are great mothers.
