Our Mini Highland Bulls

38” White Chondro Positive Miniature Highland Bull

Ghostface Gunner

Gunner has produced 80% chondro positive calves for us. They’re consistently small, calm tempered, and have the absolute best conformation and hair.

See Gunner's Calves

42” Miniature Dun Tipped Highpark Bull

Frozen Tundra

Frozen Tundra is non-chondro. He’s nearly full highland and puts loads of hair on his tiny little calves. About 50% of his calves have been tipped and the rest were solid. His conformation, hair and temperament make him a perfect herd sire.

33” Silver Chondro Positive Miniature Highland Bull

MMC Mr. Boombastic (Boo)

Boo is one of the most striking young bulls we’ve ever seen. He’s the first retained son of Ghostface Gunner, and out of Silver Shimmer. Boo combines the very best of both parents. His structure is balanced, his hair is jaw-dropping, and his calm, gentle nature makes him a true joy to handle. Look for his calves in 2027!

28” White Chondro Positive Miniature Highland Bull

MMC Phantom

Phantom is full brother to Mr. Boombastic and is proving to be every bit as exceptional in conformation, hair and temperament. The only difference we see in these two is that Boo is silver and Phantom is bright white. Look for his calves in 2028!

24” White Chondro Positive Miniature Highland Bull

MMC Chewbacca

Chewbacca is half brother to Mr. Boombastic and Phantom. His conformation, hair and temperament are perfect. He appears to be slightly smaller than Boo & Phantom and a gorgeous champagne white color apart from white marking on his head, tail and hooves like Boo. Look for his calves in 2028!

We have more "little" friends too..

Our farm is also home to mini donkeys, mini horses, Nigerian Dwarf goats, and our beloved Golden Retrievers.

This fall, we’re especially excited for the arrival of our first mini donkey foals, bred from our registered Mediterranean Donkey trio: Arthur, Bailey, and Jenny. Foals are expected in late September / early October, and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome these long-eared babies to the ranch!
