Anyone raise Miniature Zebu Cattle

[LWArchery]

I am looking to move sometime this next year and buy at least 15 acre. I have seen these miniature Zebu cattle. That look pretty cool and seems like they wouldn't hurt the land as standard cattle. I have been trying to find prices on calves with no luck.

What's the purpose of said cattle?

Obviously to make people ask the above ???

Mini cattle still eat grass and if overgrazed will resort to eating browse, which is deer food. If you are careful with grazing numbers, you should be OK.

I guess you are considering this for Ag exemption?

I dont, but have thought about it. I only have 10ac and only a couple of that actually have grass so real cattle are out. The main thing holding me back is the cost of the cattle themselves. I would be raising them to butcher ( or at least the steers ) and paying $2-3000 for a 500lb cow aint happening
