Woody's Mini Cows

Woody's Mini Cows, miniature zebu, Mesa, Arizona, in the Salt River Valley near Scottsdale. For more than ten years, Gregg Woody has nurtured these compact cattle with attention to breed standards, working closely with industry groups to follow guidelines set by the American Miniature Zebu Association.

Every animal undergoes genetic health screenings, bovine leukemia tests, and routine veterinary exams before joining the herd. The zebus live on pasture and spend time with the family daily, which fosters a calm temperament and strong social bonds. Calves receive hands-on care from birth, and their environment includes spacious pastures shaded by cottonwood trees.

Many visitors comment on the herd’s friendly demeanor and sturdy health. Operating from a 30-acre farm, Woody’s Mini Cows balances traditional husbandry with modern insights to offer miniature zebu known for resilience and gentle nature. The farm follows sustainable practices such as rotational grazing to support land health and animal welfare.
