Pillard's Miniature Cattle

The best part of having miniature cattle are the new born calves.  This could not be possible with out the cows.  We love our cows and always have favorites in the pasture.  Take a look at some of the girls in our herd.

We try to keep a wide color variety of cows, including solid colors.  We just like to see calves come out all different colors.  We have some cows that have multiple generations of color.  I think we could breed these cows to bulls almost any color and get some real flashy calves.  We have been building our cow herd for almost 20 year, it is starting to show up in the pasture.

Deana Jane is a great little cow that cows back to one of our original miniature cows. We are expecting the 5th generation to be born here out of this line.  She has had two tri-colored red heifers and now this black and white bull. Deana Jane a cow standing 38 inches tall.  

Tickled Pink is another perfect little cow.  She is about 38 inches tall and her 2009 heifer, Millie, was one of the smallest calves born in 2009.  This cow has a lot of color in her back ground, alot of potential here. She had a great bull calf in 2010 and another heifer in 2011. This cow is a producer.  One of my favorite. 

 Tiger Lilly is only about 33 inches tall.  She had a great brindle white-faced bull calf in 2009.   She is pictured here with her 2010 bull calf. Bred back the same for 2012.  She is a brindle cow that throws lots of color on her calves.

Punkin is another small cow.  A little taller than Mandy.  She has had two great calves for us.  A red heifer and a red-pointed bull this year.  She is small and colorful.......what everyone wants.  We think she will be giving us lots of calves to put back in our herd.Black Magic is a nice heifer that goes back to some of the orginal animals we started with.  She has a wide variety of colors in her background, she is a Bullwinkle daughter.  Her first heifer is Augustine on the calf page.  WOW, what a great little calf, check her out on the calf page. 

Sugar Plum is my favorite cow.  She is a 2008 model and had one of the nicest heifers ever born here. Her 2011 calf is Sugar Bottom, she get better every day. Her calf is a brindle spotted calf.  We look forward to this cow contributing for years to come.

Frostie is another great cow. She has had two heifers for us and both are awesome. Snookie in 2010 and Pookie pictured with her above.  Frostie is only 37 inches tall.  She will be in the herd for years to come. We think a bull from her would do wonders for our herd.

 Snookie is a 2010 heifer. Her mother and full sister are pictured above.  We are really excited to see this heifer grow out.  She is about 32 inches as a yearling.  She is growing out nicely. She is really put together in every aspect. She has red points and a few red spots. 

Sydney is a super little cow.  She is a 2009 model and had a great calf this year in 2011.  Her little heifer is as nice as she is,  Little Shelby is a good one.  We can't wait to see what she does next year.  She is only 34 inches tall.  A beautiful cow with lots of color.

Sugar, what can I say.  I really like this heifer.  She was born in 2010 and looks better every day.  She has red and black speckles and is just a real smooth cow.  We think this girl will be a dominate animal in our herd.  She has everything that we are looking for in our cow herd.

Vannillie is a nice home grown heifer.  She is a two year old here.  She will calve in 2012 .  We really like the way she is put together, a nice blonde color with just the right amount of black stripes.  She has alot of color in her background too, so she should be a real producer.

Jo Jo is a nice 2008 heifer. She has a loud color pattern and a good personality.  Add that to a frame less than 36 inches tall and we have another nice home grown heifer.  We are excited to see what she will do for us in 2012.  Any calf she has should be flashy.

Millie is another 2008 heifer that we are real high on.  No picture does her justice.  She is about as nice as they come.  I just can't get over her.  She is really put together great. She has everything I am looking for in a mini cow.  She is small, only about 33 inches tall.

Kalamazoo, is a heifer we brought into the herd last year.  There is just something about her that hits me.  Breeding her to our bulls will give us a great outcross.  She is only about 34 inches tall, long flowing tail and a real nice color.  I think she will be the goose that lays the golden egg.

KC is the cream of the 2008 calf crop.  She was 20 inches/20lbs when born and has done nothing but get better.  She has really filled out this year and we hope to get a great little calf from her in 2012.  We are going to have some great calves in 2012 and I think this heifer's calf will be at the top.

Ellie Mae is a 2010 heifer.  She is a full sibling to Hombre on the 2011 calf page.  She is a great little gal.  about 32 inches tall at 1 yr old.  I really like the spotted brindles.  It will be fun to watch her grow.

Reba is another 2010 heifer we kept back.  She a heifer out of Deana Jane pictured at the top of the page.  She is also full sibling to the black and white bull calf in the picture too.  Again, another spotted brindle that will be fun to see what she can do.  Especially since she has a black and white brother.
