Micro Miniature Highland Lowline Cross Belle Cows

So, what is a micro miniature cow?  While she may not be small as her name suggests, Belle is considered a micro mini Highland-Lowline Cross, a special blend of two hearty and compact cattle breeds.  Micro minis are smaller than standard cows, but still very much full-sized in personality.  Belle has the strong build of a lowline Angus with the fluff and cold-weather tolerance of a Highland.  She’s easily recognizable by her sturdy frame, soft coat, and gentle eyes.  While visitors can’t go inside her pasture, Belle loves the attention she gets through the fence, especially when snacks are involved.  

Belle was donated to us to help educate guests about miniature livestock and the wide variety of animals that can thrive on small farms.  Watching people light up when they see her in person, often for the very first time, is one of the sweetest parts of her role here.

Whether she is enjoying the sunshine, chewing on her hay and snacks, or peacefully hanging out with her farm friends, Belle is a calm yet spunky presence on the farm.  She’s truly one of a kind and a joy to care for and watch grow.
