Tin Stone Evermore and Tin Stone Jane Eyre are available!
We are currently going through our inquiry responses to find farms that would be a good fit for our available heifers – if you have completed the form and have not yet been contacted, please let us know! You can message me on Instagram or email me at stefanie@tinstonecattleco.com.
Evermore and her dam, Charlotte
Tin Stone Evermore was born on May 22, 2026, and is growing out beautifully. She is a lovely fawn with lots of paint, thanks to her sire, RRR Holdin’ Strong. Evermore’s dam is Tin Stone Charlotte Royale and her sire is Holdin’ Strong (aka Magni). Both of Evermore’s parents are outstanding mini Jerseys – Lottie’s dam was our first and favorite milk cow, Memory Lane Sarah, and Magni’s dam is an exceptional mini Jersey as well.
Evermore is A1/A2, homozygous polled and should mature around 43-44″ based on her birth height of 24″. She will be registered with IMCBR and her dam, sire (and herd) have all been tested negative for BLV, BVD and Johne’s in the last year.
Tin Stone Jane Eyre was born on June 11, 2026, and is growing so well. She is a classic fawn, with a little spot of paint on her hip and belly to remind us of her beautiful painted sire, RRR Holdin’ Strong.
Eyre at two weeks old
Eyre’s dam is MJF Etta Jane Butters and her sire is Holdin’ Strong (aka Magni). With her exceptional genetics on both sides, she should grow up to be a wonderful little milk cow ❤️ Etta was bred by MaryJane Butters, author of Milk Cow Kitchen and executive director of Heritage Jersey. Etta’s sire is Riverview Milky Way, an outstanding original mini Jersey sire. Etta gives 3.5 gallons a day just a few weeks into her current lactation… at 14 years old!
Eyre is A1/A2, hetero polled and should mature around 43-44″ based on her birth height of 24″. She will be registered with IMCBR and her dam (and herd) have all been tested negative for BLV, BVD and Johne’s in the last year.
Eyre at two weeks
We begin halter training our calves at just a few days old, and work with and around them daily, just to teach them to love people early! We find it makes their transition into becoming a milk cow much smoother ❤️
We do not operate on a “first come, first served” basis, but take as much time as we need to find the perfect fit for each individual animal we rehome.
If you are interested in being considered for one of our animals, please fill out our animal inquiry form. This is an important tool for us to get to know you a bit – please don’t feel intimidated if you lack years of livestock experience or lots of acreage! Just complete the form as best you can… we just want to learn about you and your milk cow dreams!
We get a lot of inquiries and can’t reply to each one individually, so if you don’t hear back from us after completing the form, we either don’t have anything available, or we don’t have an animal that would be a good fit for your farm.
We do keep all your responses and if we have an available animal that we think might be a good fit, we’ll reach out, even if it’s been a while!

We’ve always fenced off the grapevines to keep the cows out, just in case they’d eat all the grapes. But so far this year the girls have been behaving themselves… and it’s actually become one of their very favorite spots to hang out since the vines provide so much shade. I may have to rethink this set up once the grapes start ripening, but for now I’ll let them get in there all they want 🍇 #honeybeetheminijersey #minijersey…
Eyre is the baby of 2026… and she’s already one month old ❤️ So fun to watch her grow, she is usually quiet and reserved, like her dad, but every now and then she likes to get a little sassy, just like her mama 🥰 #eyretheminijersey #minijersey…
All the calves love their alfalfa – especially all the little leaves 🌿 They also love their grain too! I’m so thankful they’re all such good eaters… makes my job so much easier 🥰 #beartheminijersey #elmtheminijersey #eyretheminijersey #easytheminijersey #evertheminijersey…
Tin Stone Jane Eyre ❤️ She is A1A2, hetero polled and will be available at weaning to an excellent home. If you’d like to be considered for her, please complete an inquiry form, linked in my bio. And if you’ve already completed one for Evermore, but haven’t heard back yet, we are working on it 🥰 Eyre’s dam is #ettatheminijersey – our oldest and smallest girl. Her sire is #magnitheminijersey who has impressive genetics as well, and I think Eyre inherited his sweet, easy-going temperament, along with the little white spot on her side 😍 She was 24” at birth so I think she’ll end up around 43-44” at maturity… a wonderful size for a family mill cow ❤️ #eyretheminijersey #minijersey…
Honey Bee and I feel the same way about the heat – I may be already counting the days to cooler weather 😅 She has been enjoying the daily afternoon water trough top off to cool the water down, and then I let it overflow to help cool her down through her feet 💦 She doesn’t like to get wet so it’s the easiest way to help her feel cooler without aggravating her more 🤣 #honeybeetheminijersey #minijersey…
One of the things we do to help our girls deal with the heat is turn them on their new pasture in the evening instead of the morning. Even though we milk at 6:30 am in the summer, by the time we get done and turn the cows out, it’s hot ☀️ So for now, we feed them their dinner at sunset and then let them out on fresh pasture for the night 💛 #crickettheminijersey #lottietheminijersey #ettatheminijersey #minijersey…
And then there were… six?! Well, yes *and* no 😊 So the sweet family that is getting Elm really wanted a second bull calf from us, so Elm would have a friend. But we didn’t have another. I really wanted to help, especially because I wanted to ensure Elm had a good friend on his new farm! He would need one that was easy-going, from a reputable breeder and who’d had a good, healthy start 🥰 Enter Bear 🧸 He came to us from Indiana, from a wonderful farm, and is just the cutest and sweetest boy! He is going to be the perfect friend for Elm 😍 We have another month before these two leave together, so we will be working with them both, encouraging their friendship and getting them ready for all the adventures that await them on their new farm ❤️ #beartheminijersey #elmtheminijersey #minijersey…
Essie is 3.5 months old… and just had her first heat cycle 🫠 Honestly, this isn’t unusual with our heifers, but I wanted to take a minute to give a PSA to newer milk cow owners: your young heifer can get pregnant at a ridiculously young age! We insist on two separate lines of fencing between any young heifer and a breeding aged bull (6 months or older) to make sure she doesn’t get bred before she’s mature. Not only could a super early pregnancy hurt her, but serious breeding injuries could occur as well 🥺 Okay, rant over… now, isn’t she adorable? 🥰 #essietheminijersey #minijersey #heifercalf…
Mamas and babies ❤️ The cows love to come around the calf pen and check on their babies from time to time… and the babies love to pretend like they’re all grown up 🥰 #elmtheminijersey #easytheminijersey #evertheminijersey #minijersey…
Still going through inquiry responses for Evermore, but we are always happy when folks help us spread the word 😍 The truth is, the more interest we have in her, the more likely we are to find a perfect fit ❤️ If someone you know is looking for an exceptional miniature milk cow, please send them my way 🥰 #evertheminijersey #minijersey…
Elm has a family ❤️ This cutie will be going to live in Tennessee at weaning… where he’s going to be so well loved 🥰 We will work with him between now and then to get him ready for his new family! #elmtheminijersey #minijersey…
BWT Summer Solstice, aka Sunny, has been busy this month trying to get our girls settled for 2027 💛 Sunny is a young bull, just barely a year, but seems to be taking his job seriously ✨ We chose him because of his genetics – his dam is a lovely pale fawn with an excellent, high udder and a beautiful head. She also comes from generations of grass-fed genetics and gives over 3 gallons a day with no grain inputs. We would love to improve our girls’ udders as well as their thriftiness… we don’t foresee being grass-fed anytime soon but are hoping to move more in that direction 🌿 No pregnancies confirmed yet, we will send off milk samples next month if the girls skip a heat or two! #sunnytheminijersey #minijersey…
