And you thought Smart Cars were cute?

In the spirit of falling in love with anything “mini”, I share with you a heart-warming story of tiny bovines. The LA Times featured a story on the growing movement in the US of ranching with miniature cows and steers. Yes, you heard correctly. These little critters are less than half the size of their traditional land-hogging, food-hogging counterparts. But the milk or meat they provide is substantial. The coolest part of all is that the minis are not genetically engineered and are not dwarfs. They are original breeds that lost popularity when large farms were more common and land and feed were at less of a premium.
