Butt Nugget Farms

Butt Nugget Farms, miniature zebu, Houston, Texas in Southeast Texas near Galveston, is a small herd dedicated to preserving this distinctive breed. Marla Bryant has been working with miniature zebu cattle for several years and follows breed association guidelines for health screening of every animal. Calves are raised in pasture settings, introduced to daily handling from an early age, and receive regular veterinary care.

The farm produces compact, gentle cattle that are well suited for small-scale homesteads and educational programs. Its emphasis on low-stress handling and family-oriented farming creates calm animals accustomed to children and other livestock. Located on a quiet rural acreage, the farm pairs traditional practices with sustainable grazing to maintain herd health year-round.

Every adult in the herd is registered with the American Zebu Association and undergoes routine parasite screening and veterinary exams. Marla’s small-scale operation gives personal attention to each animal’s development and reflects her background in sustainable agriculture.
