In the spring of 2024 we relocated to fifteen acres in beautiful northwest Alabama and have been working hard to make this place into our dream farm ever since! We’ve got our herd size just right in order to be able to give each of our girls all the attention, brushing and loving they can stand!
Lilibet Luv gave us a beautiful mini-me version of herself on November 26, 2025 and everyone else is bred to RRR Holdin’ Strong for 2026 calves arriving in March, April, May and June. We are still pinching ourselves to have been able to use such a phenomenal bull! Thanking God and praying hard for a wonderful 2026 calving season 💛
We milk our girls once a day and use their delicious milk to make butter, cheese, yogurt, chocolate milk and, of course, ice cream. Our girls average about 2-4 gallons on once a day milking… pretty perfect for a homestead cow!
Follow us on Instagram to really get to know our little herd… we post regularly and are pretty sure our miniature Jerseys are some of the cutest out there!
Ten days to Mabel’s due date! And last time she calved, she went ten days early 😅 Based on her pins and udder development I think we have time, but we will definitely be watching her closely – she definitely fooled us last time… not only going early, but having a bull calf after getting bred with heifer sexed semen 🤣 #mabeltheminijersey #mrdarcytheminijersey #minijersey #calfwatch…
One more week with Miss Evie before she goes to her new home 🏡 She’s three months old now and getting so grown up… eating calf starter, learning to stand tied and making friends ❤️ She’s not going far and will have several friends her age at her new place – will be so fun to watch her grow into a sweet little milk cow 😍 #evietheminijersey #minijersey #lottietheminijersey…
I think Honey Bee must just sense that Mabel is close to calving! I’ve never seen her love on Mabel until recently… and now she just can’t get enough 💋 #mabeltheminijersey #honeybeetheminijersey #minijersey…
Lilibet was bred with heifer-sexed semen from Magni and, if she’s pregnant, would be due in mid-November 🍁 If she is not pregnant, she will come into heat in the next day or two, and we will be sad 🥺 Firstly, because we *really* want a Lilibet/Magni heifer but also because we will have to wait a while to try to breed her again in order to avoid a wintertime calving. Would be so thankful for prayers that she’s already pregnant 🙏🏻 #lilitheminijersey #minijersey #magnitheminijersey…
Trying to get on Honey Bee’s good side since drying her off… she’s not very happy with the fact that she doesn’t get a milker’s breakfast anymore 😅 Thankfully she’s always up for a good scratch in the right spot 💛 #honeybeetheminijersey #minijersey…
Mabel is due in a little over two weeks and has been the recent recipient of *all* the loving from the other cows 👅 #mabeltheminijersey #minijersey #lotsoflicks…
Monkey see, monkey do 🌱 In this case that’s a good thing, Lottie is teaching Evie how to eat hay and where to get the water and so on… cows learn best from other cows and it’s so sweet to see Evie learning all the big girl things from her Aunt Lottie ❤️ #evietheminijersey #lottietheminijersey #minijerseys…
Miss Lottie enjoying our alternate hay location 💛 This shed was built last fall when we realized we really needed a sheltered hay feeder. It is 30’ long and 10’ wide with a 12’ hay bunk, an 8’ open area and a 10’ stall on the other end. It’s been honestly a favorite this winter, once we figured out the drainage, and the loafing areas are super easy to keep well bedded with spent hay 🌱 #lottietheminijersey #minijersey #milkcow…
Snack time 🌱 Etta and Honey Bee are the most frequent customers… everyone else has to try to eat at the other hay feeders or wait until they’re taking a break 😅 #honeybeetheminijersey #ettatheminijersey #minijersey…
Just about six weeks to piglets and Aster is looking so good! We used a Berkshire boar again… I think GOS/Berkshire babies are the cutest 😍 #gospigs #gloucestershireoldspot…
Just adore this girl – she’s so nicely built and has the cutest udder 💛 We don’t have a bull on the farm so we opted for AI, saying our prayers now that she settles! We will be able to test for pregnancy if she doesn’t come into heat in a few weeks 🙏🏻 #lilitheminijersey #minijersey…
