Melas Farms

We began our miniature cattle program with the acquisition

of Constantine, the premier White Dexter bull, one of only two

in the world at that time. He has perfect conformation and a

gentle disposition. His offspring have provided three herd sires,

and we have retained one youngster as junior herd sire. At

present we have black, white and lineback females.

The disposition and size of these miniatures provide easy

handling and excellent use of small space. An acre of good

pasture can carry two mature cattle, and they are good

converters of roughage. They are an excellent source of

milk and meat.

We do not have any stock for sale in 2014, and will have

only a few available in 2015. We will take orders for 2015,

but will appreciate only serious inquiries.

Why miniature cattle or mini-moos, as we call them?

The cattle are smaller, compact and kind. Bred for family utility, they put rich, creamy milk in the icebox and lean, tasty meat on the dinner table. They require one fifth the amount of acreage to sustain, so a great choice for those without large acreages or the family that wants to supply their own production at a lesser cost.
