This miniature highpark x miniature hereford x dexter calf is starting the search for her new home. Maggie is silly, sweet, and fluffy. She was born early January of this year. She is grazing, taking treats out of our hands, rolling around on the hay, and is currently working on halter training. She loves being around our goats and does fine with dogs. She has been genetically tested and is chrondo negative and naturally polled. Mom and dad are on site. Feel free to reach out with any questions - happy to send any info, pics, or videos. Bittersweet moment seeing our first calf ready to move on to a new home 🖤

Miss Maggie Update

Mags is doing great, still a small little thing. She's got her dad's face and goofiness (see the last photo) with her mom's body, coloring, and temperment. She is curious, lively, and loves the molasses tub. She'll occasionally play with her ball... but loves to roll on the hay and talk to the beef cattle from the fence line.

We had her genetics tested:
•Color Coat - Black animal who carries red. Non-carrier for dun.
•Chrondroplaysia- Homozygous Normal (non carrier/chrondo negative)
•Dexter Pulmonary Hypoplaysia- Homozygous Normal (non carrier/PHA negative)
•Polled - Heterozygous (has one copy of the Polled-Celtic gene)

Basically, she is a happy little thing who has the ability to naturally be polled and throw polled offspring. Not shocking since both her mom and dad are naturally polled. She is strong in her Highpark genetics on both parent's sides, but getting a bit of Dexter and Mini Hereford from her mom. Celebrating sunshine and a healthy, beautiful baby heifer! 🌤🐮

Meet the newest Hey Howdy members: Biscuit & Honey ☁️🍯

We got a little swept up in the new calf excitement, so much so that we forgot to mention that Hey Howdy has expanded. In addition to miniature highland cross cattle, we now have two stunning Nigerian Dwarf doelings.

Biscuit, the bisbudded tri-colored (fancy white + moonspotted) blue-eyed beauty is a little over two months old. Biscuit loves to eat alfalfa leaves, check on the cows, sit in mom's lap, and hop on top of anything and everything.

Honey, the (most likely polled) golden moonspotted and blue-eyed bottle baby is only 12 days old! She loves to run, drink from her bottle, climb through obstacles, and do flips.

We hope y'all love them as much as we do!

🖤🤍The First Hey Howdy Minis Calf🤍🖤

Over the weekend, Fiadh effortlessly delievered the first ever Hey Howdy calf. So effortlessly, in fact, that we came across it in the barn while prepping for the winter weather. Fiadh and the calf are healthy, despite the wind and below freezing nights. Now for the info everyone wants to know:
1. The calf was born Sunday, January 5th, 2025, sometime in the late afternoon
2. The calf is a heifer!
3. She is currently 21 inches tall.
4. She is a perfect mix of her mom and dad as a Mini HerefordxDexterxHighpark, as you can tell by her unique black and white swirl and stature.
5. She is incredibly calm and sweet. We have been able to love on her, pick her up, and pet her from day one.
6. She will be ready for her new home come spring

We are so excited to have started off the Hey Howdy adventure with such a beautiful heifer baby, and we can not wait to see what the rest of our herd can do. Can't wait for later in the year when we can (hopefully) have some more gorgeous babies to share!
