Maryland Mini Cows

Maryland Mini Cows specializes in Western Heritage miniature cattle in Salisbury MD on the Eastern Shore near Baltimore. Kelly Nolte cares for this family-run herd following established standards for veterinary health testing and animal welfare, and she participates in breed association events.

Each animal grazes on rotational pasture with regular human interaction and access to sheltered loafing areas. The operation supports community education by hosting occasional farm visits for local schools and 4-H groups. Positive feedback from visitors highlights the calm temperament and adaptability of the cattle in family and small-scale farm settings.

Occasional ribbons from regional livestock shows offer a glimpse of the breed’s natural conformation. Attention to sustainable pasture management reflects the farm’s broader commitment to environmental stewardship. From weaning through maturity, Maryland Mini Cows emphasizes clear communication about feeding regimens and long-term care to support responsible ownership.
