Hamlins Haven Minis

Hamlins Haven Minis is a breeder of miniature zebu in Los Angeles, California, serving southern California near Long Beach. With over a decade of experience, it is a member of the American Miniature Zebu Association and performs routine health testing including parasite screening and hoof inspections. Tracy Hamlin cares for the herd in a pasture-based setting where calves are handled gently from birth to encourage social animals comfortable around people.

The miniature zebu here are raised on rotational grazing plots that promote natural foraging and herd cohesion during daily turnout. The farm’s modest scale allows for individual attention to feeding schedules and biosecurity practices that support long-term wellness. The operation began with two foundation cows and has grown organically under close oversight to maintain herd integrity. Visitors often note the calm temperament of the cattle and their distinctive, compact build that reflects careful breeding for consistent size and health.
