Our Commitment to Breeding Standards

As a professional breeder, I have dedicated my career to perfecting the art and science of cattle breeding. At West Family Mini Cow Ranch, every step of our process is meticulously designed to meet and exceed established breeding standards, including:

  • USDA and APHIS Guidelines: We follow strict protocols outlined by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). This ensures our mini cows are raised in environments that promote optimal health, genetic integrity, and overall well-being.

  • State Agricultural Regulations: Our ranch complies with all state-level agricultural standards and animal welfare laws, guaranteeing that our breeding practices are both ethical and sustainable.

  • Industry Best Practices: Drawing on decades of experience, we integrate recommendations from respected organizations such as the National Cattlemen’s Association and other livestock industry authorities. This includes rigorous health screenings, selective breeding for superior genetics, and comprehensive nutritional programs designed to foster robust, long-lived animals.

“Our breeding practices are not just about producing mini cows—they’re about nurturing a legacy of excellence, quality, and integrity that reflects the highest standards in the industry.”
