Summary

And there you have it! 12 places with mini cows for sale in Virginia (VA). 

Miniature cattle are very popular livestock as they need a lot less space than regular-sized ones and less food and water.

They offer similar benefits in terms of milk and meat while being more economical for farmers that do not have a lot of space available. Their smaller size also makes them a lot easier to handle and they also do less damage to pasture and fencing.

Make sure to call (at reasonable hours) and check if the seller currently has animals available for sale, see them in person, or request a video call verification, before paying for anything in advance. There are many scammers out there.

We take our miniature cow breeding directory seriously  – feel free to send us a message if we’ve helped you find a proper calf or if you had any negative experiences with any of the breeders mentioned here.
