Young females — perfect for beginners, homesteaders, and anyone looking to start or expand a mini cattle herd. Available now at Wann Ranch in Oklahoma.

If you have been dreaming of raising your own miniature cattle — those gentle, fluffy, compact cows that capture hearts and fit perfectly on small acreage — there has never been a better time to start. At Wann Ranch, we are offering quality mini heifers and Highland cattle that are ready to become the foundation of your herd.

Whether you are a first-time cattle owner, a homesteader looking for grazing companions, or an experienced rancher seeking quality breeding females, our young heifers are an excellent choice.

Why Choose Mini Heifers and Highland Cattle?

Miniature cattle have exploded in popularity over the past decade — and for excellent reasons. They offer all the charm, productivity, and companionship of full-sized cattle in a smaller, more manageable package.

Here is why our mini heifers and Highland cattle stand out:

• Perfect for small properties – Most mini cattle breeds require only ½ to 1 acre of good pasture per animal. You do not need a large ranch to enjoy the benefits of cattle ownership.

• Lower feed costs – Smaller animals eat less hay and grain, making them far more economical to maintain than standard cattle.

• Gentle, beginner‑friendly temperaments – Our heifers are well-handled from birth. They are calm, curious, and easy to work with — ideal for families, children, and first-time owners.

• Young females (heifers) – Heifers are young females that have not yet calved. They are the perfect starting point because you can raise them, bond with them, and then breed them when they reach maturity. You get to be part of their entire journey.

• All vaccinated with complete health records – Every heifer that leaves Wann Ranch is fully vaccinated and comes with thorough health documentation.

• Nationwide delivery available – No matter where you live in the United States, we can safely deliver your heifer right to your farm.

What Makes a Heifer Different from a Cow?

If you are new to cattle, the terminology can be confusing. Here is a simple breakdown:

• Heifer – A young female cow that has not yet given birth to a calf. Heifers are typically under 2–3 years old.

• Cow – A female that has given birth to at least one calf.

When you purchase a heifer, you are getting a young animal with her whole productive life ahead of her. You have the opportunity to raise her, train her to your routines, and eventually breed her to produce calves that you can raise for beef, milk, or to sell.

Starting with heifers is often the smartest choice for new cattle owners.

Mini Highland Heifers: Fluffy, Friendly, and Full of Personality

Our Mini Highland cows are among our most popular offerings — and for good reason. With their long, shaggy coats, sweeping horns, and incredibly gentle dispositions, Mini Highlands have captured the hearts of farmers and hobbyists across America.

Why choose a Mini Highland heifer?

• Iconic good looks – That fluffy, teddy-bear appearance is irresistible. Mini Highlands are often described as "living stuffed animals."

• Cold-hardy – Their thick double coats allow them to thrive in northern climates with minimal shelter.

• Excellent foragers – They do well on pasture and are efficient converters of grass to body condition.

• Docile temperament – Mini Highlands are known for being one of the gentlest cattle breeds, making them fantastic with children and first-time owners.

• Manageable size – Mature Mini Highland cows typically stand 36–42 inches at the shoulder and weigh 500–700 pounds.

A Day in the Life at Wann Ranch

Our heifers enjoy a low-stress, high-quality life on our Oklahoma pastures. They graze on lush grass, have access to fresh water at all times, and receive routine veterinary care including vaccinations and deworming.

But what truly sets our heifers apart is the daily handling they receive. From a young age, our team works with each animal — leading them, brushing them, checking hooves, and simply spending quiet time with them. This consistent, gentle handling creates heifers that are:

• Trusting of humans – They do not shy away or panic when people approach.

• Easy to lead – Halter training is well underway, making transport and routine care simpler for you.

• Calm in new situations – Because they have been exposed to different environments and experiences, they adapt quickly to new homes.

When you bring home a heifer from Wann Ranch, you are not just getting a healthy animal. You are getting one that has been raised with patience, respect, and genuine care.

Who Are Mini Heifers Best For?

Because of their moderate size and gentle dispositions, mini heifers are an outstanding fit for a wide range of owners:

First-time cattle owners – If you have never owned a cow before, starting with a heifer is the smart choice. She is young, adaptable, and will grow up alongside your experience level. Mini Highlands and other mini breeds are widely recommended as beginner cattle.

Homesteaders and hobby farmers – You want the benefits of cattle — grazing management, manure for compost, companionship, and possibly future calves — without the space and feed requirements of full-sized animals. Mini heifers deliver all of this.

Families with children – Mini cattle are generally safer around children than standard cattle due to their smaller size and calmer temperaments. Our heifers have been raised with gentle handling and are used to being around people of all ages.

Retirees or small‑acreage owners – With just a few acres, you can keep one or two mini heifers. They are not overwhelming to care for, and they provide wonderful companionship and a sense of purpose.

Breeders expanding their herds – If you already have a mini cattle operation, adding quality heifers is the best way to grow your herd. Young females give you years of breeding potential.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mini Heifers

What ages are available?
Please contact us for current availability, ages, and pricing. Our inventory changes regularly, and we are happy to provide updated information.

Can heifers be bred?
Yes — that is the eventual goal for most heifer buyers. Depending on her age and development, a heifer can typically be bred around 12–18 months. We are happy to discuss breeding timelines and options. Some heifers may already be bred — ask us for current status.

How much space do mini heifers need?
Mini Highland heifers and other mini breeds need approximately ½ to 1 acre of good pasture per animal. They can also thrive on dry lots with hay if pasture is limited, though access to grazing is ideal.

What do mini heifers eat?
Good-quality grass hay is the foundation of their diet. If pasture is available, they will graze happily. Supplement with a general cattle mineral block to ensure proper nutrition. We also offer alfalfa hay for sale if you need a high-quality feed source.

Do you ship heifers out of state?
Yes — Wann Ranch offers nationwide delivery to all 50 states through our network of licensed, insured livestock haulers. We handle all health certificates (CVI) required for interstate transport.

Can I visit before buying?
Absolutely. Farm visits are welcome by appointment. Come see Wann Ranch, meet our available heifers, and experience our operation firsthand. Contact us to schedule a visit.

What Your Heifer Will Need From You

Before bringing a mini heifer home, here is a quick checklist to ensure you are prepared:

• Fencing: 4–5 foot secure fencing. Woven wire or high-tensile electric fencing works well. Mini cattle are generally not escape artists, but good fencing keeps them safe.

• Shelter: A three-sided shed or small barn provides protection from wind, rain, snow, and extreme heat. Mini Highlands are cold-hardy but still appreciate a dry place to get out of the elements.

• Hay and pasture: Access to good-quality grass hay year-round. Pasture is ideal but not strictly necessary if you provide hay. A mineral block should always be available.

• Fresh water: Clean, unfrozen water at all times. In winter, a heated waterer may be necessary in colder climates.

• A companion: Cattle are herd animals. A single heifer will be lonely and stressed. Plan to have at least two animals — whether that is two heifers, a heifer and a steer, or a heifer paired with a goat or sheep. We have goats for sale and sheep and ewes for sale that make excellent companions.

If you are just starting out and are unsure about any of these requirements, contact us. We are happy to offer advice based on your specific property and goals.
