The Moravy Ranch

The Moravy Ranch, miniature zebu, in Florida’s Tampa Bay region near Tampa. Mark Moravy has devoted more than a decade to breeding miniature zebu with a focus on health testing, nutrition plans and gentle handling.

It follows breed-specific protocols and works with veterinarians to monitor hooves, dental health and parasite control. Animals live on rotational pasture with daily handling and gentle introductions to new sounds and equipment year-round. Calves grow up alongside family members and local farm animals, encouraging social behavior and resilience.

The herd at Moravy Ranch is known for calm temperaments and sturdy builds suited to small-scale farms. With attention to lineage and sound conformation, each animal reflects a thoughtful approach to sustainable breeding. Mark documents each calf’s growth and temperament to guide selective pairings that support long-term genetic diversity, leading to robust herd health outcomes and consistent performance.
