Miniature zebu cattle are a diminuative form of the Indian zebu, Bos indicas. At Liar’s Lake we purchased our first miniature zebu bull in the fall of 1985. This beautiful 34 inch bull whom we named Liar’s Lake Petronius (after a Robert Heinlein character) was from the famous herd of Dallas Rhone in Cozad, Nebraska, one of the pioneers of the breed. This was the beginning of our twenty year association with these fascinating miniatures. In 1991 we joined the International Miniature Zebu Association and have registered our stock ever since.
This is a small selection of our zebu herdsires. To view more, please visit our Zebu Herdsires page or you can view all our current and past herdsires here.
