Welcome to Middleground Miniature Herefords online!
Happy spring finally!We have been blessed with the arrival of two beautiful heifer calves born on the same day, April 27th, a Sunday no less! Their mommas are our two very favorite cows, Miss Piggy and Sunny, and we couldn't be more pleased!
"Volatility of the financial markets appears to be encouraging consumers to switch to alternative investment opportunities." -- US News and World Report, May 19, 2008
With that in mind, we are pleased to be able to offer a nice starter package of two cows and one bull. Both cows are experienced young cows, just having their second calves this summer, and our current herd sire, Mr. Bull, also a proven sire, who seems to be siring a good majority of heifer calves so far, as anyone can see, they are just gorgeous!!Please contact us for more information.
Package Price: $10,000
We have expanded our pastures again this year, and are pleased with how quickly our animals have fattened up on green grass alone! There is nothing better than fresh spring pasture after a long cold New York winter, that's for sure! It is truly the best time of year for us here, with cool days, no bugs, and plentiful grass, the cows and babies are frisky, healthy and fat!
We love raising the Miniature Herefords, and think they are be the best small livestock choice altogether for the small landholder today. A gentler, more amusing and just plain pretty animal one would be hard pressed to find.
We would be happy to answer any questions you may have on just about any aspect of farming with the miniature Hereford, from building shelters, to judging hay quality, to deciding which fence system would be best for you, and, how to build it yourself! (its a great way to get in shape for swimsuit season!)
We thank you for visiting, please check back often for what's new, and please, don't hesitate to contact us if we can be of any assistance!
