Twelve Oaks Farm

Twelve Oaks Farm, miniature zebu breeder near Richmond, Virginia, in Central Virginia, focuses on healthy, well-socialized calves. Their cattle receive routine health checks, follow vaccination schedules recommended for miniature zebu, undergo regular parasite control, and benefit from annual hoof trimming and dental exams.

Animals graze on rotational pasture, supplemented with hay and balanced grain rations, and have access to covered loafing areas throughout the year. Shelters protect stock from extreme weather, contributing to steady growth and muscle development. This approach reflects a low-stress handling philosophy that supports adaptive, robust stock.

Their foundation herd is selected for compact size, strong legs, and friendly dispositions that suit family farms. Twelve Oaks Farm’s careful breeding aims to maintain the unique traits of the miniature zebu while promoting resilience in diverse environments. Visits are arranged by appointment throughout the year, allowing a calm introduction to the herd and on-site facilities.
