C Jewel's Farm

C Jewel’s Farm is a miniature zebu breeder in Sarasota, Florida, on the Gulf Coast near Tampa. Its program follows recommended health screenings common among reputable breeders and registers each animal with national associations when possible. Calves are raised on rotational grazing paddocks with daily handling to encourage a calm, sociable temperament. Animals have open access to clean water and weather shelters throughout the year, supporting robust growth and well-being.

Owner Julie Gage draws on family farming traditions to maintain hands-on care and sustainable pasture management. The farm’s shaded pastures feature native grasses that enhance nutrient quality and forage variety. These cattle are valued for their heat tolerance and efficient feed conversion, traits nurtured through careful selection of foundation stock. Prospective owners often note the herd’s gentle demeanor and adaptability to homestead settings, qualities suited to mixed farms or small-scale operations.
