Miniature Cows
Ginger
Ginger is an amazing deep red, mid-mini highland. She's super sweet and social and will do anything for a treat. And her calves are amazing with her same temperament. If you come visit, you'll meet Cash, who is the first keeper we've ever had and if from Boots x Ginger.
Ginger's 2025 calf with Boots is Ozro, he's available in the Fall after weaning.

Bossy
I love the beautiful dun girls, and this one is no exception. Bossy is confirmed black/wildtype and single dilution (Ed/E+ and Dh/N). Her best feature is her big brown eyes and long hairy coat. Bossy has never quite been pettable -- Cookies, yes! Petting, no! But her babies .. we sweeten them right up!
Bossy's 2025 calf with Boots is Fideo, and he's available in the Fall after weaning.
NFS
Lovey
Love is a beautify mid-mini yellow highland (red/wild, Dh/n), registered HHCA-B. Lovey ... is not actually very lovey. But we needed a Gilligan's Island name to go with Marianne and Ginger. She's got a gorgeous face and shape. And she makes AH-MAZING babies with Ryder. So we'll keep working on ranch skills like petting.
Lovey's 2025 calf with Ryder is Stelline, and she's available in the Fall after weaning.
NFS
Marianne
Marianne is our only mature black highland, and she has very classic conformation to go with those goalpost horns. Marianne is pretty chill, and she's a fan of cookies and grain.
Marianne's 2025 calf with Boots is Bow Tie, and he's available in the Fall after weaning.
NFS
Tink
Tink used to be the shyest of the shy along the the littlest of the little on our ranch. Now she's just the littlest, at the bottom end of mini but not quite micro.
Tink's 2025 calf with TT is Bucatini, and he's available in the Fall after weaning.
NFS
Lelo
Lelo is a beautiful mid sized belted Galloway. She'll do almost anything for a treat or sweet alfalfa, and is not shy about using her reverse moo to let you know when she wants something. We often joke that she should've been renamed bossy as the namesake of our ranch, but her name's been Lelo for too long to change it now. She's everyone's mom, she's got the stink eye down, and they all do what she says.
Lelo's 2025 calf with TT is Kyle, and he's available in the Fall after weaning.
NFS
Maria
Maria is a yellow highland with a beautiful coat, lovely horns, and perfect conformation. Oh, and she has blue eyes! She is HHCA-B registered (as Steadfast Marie) and has the deep body and thick head that we love.
Maria's 2025 calf with Ryder is Rigatoni, and he's available in the Fall after weaning.
NFS
Fireball
Fireball, who's name changed from Gracie when we realized she's a spicy redhead, is a beautiful deep red that we can't wait to replicate. She's HHCA-B registered (as Steadfast Gracie).
Fireball's 2025 calf with Ryder is Penne, and she's available in the Fall after weaning.
NFS
Darina
Darina is HHCA-A registered (as Steadfast Darina) and a granddaughter of Big Ridge Voodoo Magic. She is very small framed but non-chondro, and her reddish baby coat mostly shed out to a beautiful black, so I suspect she has a little wildtype in her. She an amazing and lovely heifer, definitely a ranch favorite.
Darina is a bit on the young side but seemed ready and paired with Cash for a Fall 2025 calf. However, she's not bred yet so we've pulled her and will pair her for a spring 2026 calf with Cash or Ryder (which would be HHCA-herdbook).
NFS
Millstone
Millstone is an HHCA-B registered girl, and and she's named after our good friends who were out celebrating their 25th anniversary the day we decided to bring her home. We hope she will keep a bit of her frosting to add to our herd. Color testing is pending.
Millie is paired with Cash for a Fall 2025 calf.

Carter
Carter came to us all the way from Texas after she magically appeared in our trailer after we delivered a calf for someone else! We got her home and she's so tiny!
Carter is paired with Cash, our smallest bull, for a Fall 2025 calf. (Get it? Johnny Cash and June Carter?) She will be one of our fall birthday surprises.

Winifred
This White Park girl is new to our herd as of January 2025. She's in the mini range and bred to a small white park bull for a fall calf. She is also exposed to Boots and depending on when the calf comes we'll know who's the Baby Daddy.
We're excited about some flash she will bring to our ranch with a Fall 2025 calf.. But mostly we just want her to love us and allows us to pet her!
Whitley
This White Park girl is new to our herd as of January 2025. She's in the mini range and bred to a small white park bull for a fall calf. She is also exposed to Boots and depending on when the calf comes we'll know who's the Baby Daddy.
We're excited about some flash she will bring to our ranch with a Fall 2025 calf. She is one of the shiest new girls to our ranch, but her face just calls to me every day!
Winter aka Crazy Mama
This girl is new to our herd as of January 2025. She's a yellow white park. She was exposed to a small white park bull for a fall calf, so imagine our surprise when she popped out this little cutie heifer, Ziti, at the end of April! Congratulations, Winter, for kicking off calving season 2025 with a bang!
If you follow us on Facebook, this is the one I call Crazy Mama. In retrospect she is likely a first time mama and needed some time to settle in. She's doing great so far and I've even caught her nursing other calves that aren't her own.
Wilma
This girl is new to our herd as of January 2025. She's supposedly a white park, but her tri-colors have me stumped! She's bred to a small white park bull for a fall calf, and she's in with Ryder just in case. Either way, she has a striking crop of red hair, and I'm so excited to see what comes next for her with a Fall 2025 calf!
Wrenn
New to our ranch in January 2025, this girl is a lowline cross. She's micro mini and the smallest mature girl we have next to Tink the beltie. She's bred to either a mini jersey or a mini white park for a Fall 2025 calf. I mean, I don't even know what to do with her, she's so tiny!
BBR Peanut
We lost our beautiful girl Peanut and her unborn calf on Mother's Day, May 12, 2024, to a suspected brain tumor. We were heartbroken and still can't believe she's gone.
*******************
Peanut is a gorgeous, gorgeous highland girl. She's a perfect example of how color coat genetics are so interesting -- we thought she was yellow, but she's actually double wildtype and double dilution (E+/E+ and Dh/Dh). Which explains a lot about why her first calf with us, Thor, has yellow or dun tips instead of black!
Peanut is about as calm as a cow can be, yet she's second in command and doesn't take any sh**. When we picked Peanut up and drove her 14 hours across the country, she didn't even stress at all -- chilled in the trailer, ate and drank, unloaded, and fit right in. In fact, Boots immediately adopted her as his girlfriend.
