X Bar 6 Miniature Cattle

X Bar 6 Miniature Cattle raises miniature highland, Highparks, Belted Galloway crossbreds and small wagyu in Marion MT. Its ranch sits in the Bitterroot Valley near Missoula, and Ray Anderson has bred cattle there for over 15 years with breed association memberships and routine health testing protocols.

Animals live in pastures irrigated by natural springs, receive daily handling for calm temperaments and graze alongside farm dogs for gentle socialization. A multi generation ranch history brings practical husbandry skills, and some calves have appeared at county fairs for their charming size and steady growth. Prospective owners find the cattle well suited to hobby farms, where their hardy nature and quiet presence make them a rewarding addition to friendly homesteads.

Calves are born on-site and benefit from attentive calving pens with fresh bedding and regular nighttime checks. Owners note the cattle adapt easily to varied weather and often help introduce neighbors to miniature livestock care.
