Miniatures

Please note we don't currently include miniature lines of normal cattle in the rare breed listings as they don't fit our criteria of a breed. The Nadudana is a true old miniature breed, healthy, currently rare, hence listed. While the Dexter is an old miniature breed also in Australia, with some dwarfism issues. Thre are some other miniature breeds in Australia that have been recognised as they have been around for the required time, generations and breed true. As other miniatures meet the breed requirements, these will be listed if they become rare. The top heigh for a miniature is 111 centimeters or 44 inches at the top of the shoulder (not top of the thoracic hump).
