Many of our customers and fellow breeders of miniature livestock wish their miniature cattle had our mini cows docile attitude. Here is herd sire miniature Registered Hereford KNF CIBOLO. His attitude is friendly, and he consistently transfers that gene for gentleness to his offspring. A major aspect of the Falster Farm breeding program for mini cows is selecting for a docile, even gentile nature. Why not buy a mini cow that you can be around, and even wants to be around you?
Meet Joe & Lydia Garrisi of Nashville, TN playing with KNF CIBOLO. This miniature Registered Hereford bull is the measure by which any other herd sire should be measured. For example:
His bone structure is outstanding, adequate to carry his 1100# -- just right to keep his his beef to bone ratio in the 70% area! Important for the gourmet beef business. Look at the dept of that back, a table top of tender English beef. Viral, look at that neck and curly forehead! He is a profit center for us. His offspring of mini Registered Bull Calves have been selling for $5,500 and his heifers $4,000. Wow, what a creature. His semen is now in New Zealand and infusing new blood into the Pacific Basin mini cattle industry. His semen is available for your herd development too! Jump to his details . . . John Wayne and the "Old Breed"Falster Farm are breeders of the "Old Breed" of Hereford Cows . . . today called Miniature (Mini) Hereford Cows. As time progresses things change. Not all change is for the better. There was a time in these United States when agricultural folks were told to believe the government's teachings that breeding larger cows to produce even more beef and milk was something they should strive for. Over the years and by practical observation, we have learned the problem with such a strategy. Larger cows consume more resources which includes food, water and space. They produce more waste; consider today's confinement "factory farms". For the average small farm, today's "standard size" cows, well, they just aren't a good fit. And frankly with the resources necessary for the super sized animals the profit margin is down so low; and in our opinion; the beef taste is flat. Thus the search for the kinds of cows our forefathers depended on for rich milk, good food, good health, and cash money. What would it take to go "back to the future" in raising animals that are fit to eat and fit the farm and the reestablishment of the local farm market? Scientific research conducted at Texas A&M indicates that two Mini Hereford cows will consume less resources than the so-called standard cow AND produce upwards to 20% more delicious beef for your family, naturally marbled on non-carcinogenic pasture (grass.) So how does Big John fit into this? Mini Herefords look just like the white faced cows you saw in the Western Movies of the 1950's. The great taste of beef is really in that cow - our Falster Farm cows. If you want a pet, our cows are good for that too!
But our objective is to make cattle farming fun and profitable for our customers. Come see and Falster's MissionOur mission is to be a resource and influence in the restoration of the legacy of "family" farming, first locally and then regionally, following Natural Farming Practices. more . . .
Falster Farm's ProfileThe Falsters have many years of farming and ranching by the Organic - All Natural Method. In 1999 they began their line Miniature Hereford breeding program that has developed a herd of Registered Hereford Cows like in size to more . . . Another Falster Herd Sire Comes of Age
KNF GENERAL STAN WATIE our youngest Herd Sire is what the Miniature Registered Hereford breed is all about. We don't sell show cows, we sell show stoppers. After many years of rearing quality miniature cattle, I was getting the idea that I ought to slow down, but this young miniature herd bull, has put the fire back in my desire to show that the mini cow breed can still be improved. Standing at 411/2" tall at the hip, he is a grass fed bull with Red Power, I call it. Look at the virility of his neck, the curly hair, the deep red color, the excellent balance of his front shoulders and those hams! You just don't see that balance just everywhere. If you are looking for quality you will find it here at Falster Farm. But The General is the youngest, look over our other Herd Sires, and please consider Falster Genetics as an addition to your foundation stock.
