Meet our herd!
Here at Courser Meadows we raise small breed/miniature cattle (specifically Lowline Angus, Mini Jerseys, and Irish Jerseys) because of their easy handleability, sweet dispositions, grazing capabilities, mothering abilities, and their many uses for dairy, beef, and oxen. They are great for homesteaders, small acreage farms, or farms looking for dual/tri-purpose breeds that have great feed conversion. Our cattle range from mature heights of 39-45 inches at the withers and produce anywhere from 1-3 gallons a day of creamy, delicious milk. Our cows are great mothers, easy calvers, and have good fertility. If you are interested in our cattle, email or call with any questions or to be put on our waiting list. We have breeding, pet, dairy, and beef livestock available throughout the year.
All of our calves and bred heifers/cows that were for sale during 2021 have been sold. Contact us for more info or to be added to our 2022 wait-list.
