When I was ready to pursue my lifelong dream of owning Miniature Miniature donkey, Conners was there to help make it come true. I know I can always trust her honesty and impeccable integrity. I am excited to work with Conners in purchasing even more.

I looked for several years before buying a miniature cow, I’ve always felt very fortunate that I found you guys and your minis!! We love our girls and could not be happier. Our friends that told us about you couldn’t be happier either.

We bought a beautiful mini calf from the Zutavern family and have LOVED every minute of the experience. Their cows are all very well cared for, their ranch is amazing, set in the picturesque Sandhills of Western Nebraska, and this family has been so helpful to a novice cow person. They have continued to answer our questions and have been helpful even after the sale. We LOVE our cow!

We are blessed to have our Mini Highland steer from Rolling 7 Ranch. From the minute we received Red he became an integral member of our family. Red has taught our three kids about responsibility for and care of an animal. Red is gentle and loves to spend time with anyone who is willing to give him a scratch and affection.

April 5, 2018 “When we finally made up our mind that we wanted a family milk cow, that was in milk, and young so we could bring her up. Nancy and Conners helped us pick out the right mini jersey cow for us. They kept and trained her to hand milk and the calf to lead by a halter. We got anxious about her not breeding back on the 1st attempt, but Conners explained how a 1st time heifer can have energy issues. I actually didn’t know any of the thinks he was so willing to explain to me.

June, 30, 2018 “When I picked up the cow calf, Nancy showed me how to load her and the calf up with absolutely no stress except on me. I got them home and found I needed to fix my setup which Conners coached me through over the telephone and even followed up by text.”

“Wow Wow Wow! What wonderful people! Conners, went way out of his way to be blessing to our family. They took their time explaining to us newbies all of our options and the entire process of breeding our cow via AI to a French Bull! They totally went above and beyond in every way. They took such great care of our cow that not only did she come home bred to the absolute best breeding stock, but her body condition had improved 100% during her time spent at Zam Farm! They fed her their special feed regimen the entire time she was there! That was so kind and just goes to show how much they truly care not only their own animals but about also for their clients animals. We just can not thank this family enough for helping us through this process and taking such great care of our girl!.”

I won’t hold being a former Marine against Conners, only because he has helped with my little cattle herd in person and over the phone so many times. Nancy is the best hostess I’ve ever met, I love my visit with them every year around hog hunting time. “

Conners, your help in selling our cows was a God send. With my husband down with cancer I didn’t know what to do about our mini Herefords and the goat. Your phone conversation with him and business dealings gave us both relief and strength to carry on during very difficult times. You and Nancy sold them all, you came and picked them up and you delivered them for us, and took care of all the paper work. Marc has passed on now. As you know Marc sold all his big cows and invested in Miniature Herefords in 1990. He knew his health was failing him too much to run those bigger cows, but the Mini Herefords were gentle and he enjoyed having them so much. I’m enclosing his obituary pamphlet. Thank you so much for all your help. God Bless you both. Barbara – Waller, Texas

Dear Conners: you were so wonderful to help out our neighbor Barbara. She told us all about it, and we want you to sell our miniature Herefords too. , Texas

At approximately 4pm today Champion Farms was blessed with a little addition to its ranks. The baby calf is nursing well and appears to be in excellent health. 90% certain we are looking at a little girl, either way it’s a blessing to see all of them hit the ground healthy. Conners is indeed a Champion. Thank You for selling him to us. 

Hi Conners, We made it to Katy fine with all the cows and bull. I already have two of them eating out of my hand. Wanted to let you know I got registered with the Hereford Association, it may make it easier transferring the paper work.  it is under my name. Looking forward to seeing you all around the ninth. [For delivery of balance on an order of 9 Cows and 1 Herd Sire] Will get Ken to make you a pot of sausage and chicken gumbo. 

We feel y’all are charging way too much in shipping [to New York state]. Thanks anyway.

He [KNF Kenneth Ray] is doing great. Tell Conners I will be sending pictures of Madison (12 year old daughter) leading Kenneth Ray. He took to the halter and leading with no fight. He is a very sweet animal [pet bull calf]. Madison is enjoying him very much. Continued success with your farm. Thank you – Catherine Garrett

Someone finally explained it to be so I can understand it [Line Breeding]. (Went back to college to get a degree in Farm and Range management and changed to Landscape Design and Horticulture). Was older than most of my Professor’s which helped me considerably. Anyway, I had a couple try to explain it [Line Breeding] and to me they had no real clue. I knew that Justin Morgan started the Morgan line with one great horse, and I also knew that many of the major breeds were done that way too.

I looked into the “Panda” and concluded as you did – IT AIN’T WORKING.

It seems this gentleman is trying to get somewhere and forgetting where the cart is. I looked at all of his Progeny – for all his “Breeds” and found them ALL lacking in sustainability. The third and fourth generations are just not producing like the first.

Most major breeds, have came from multiple generations of the same “look”.

Look at the “Black Baldy”, some would say it is the best of two breeds. Well it at least it looks like the same animal time after time.

Your Herefords ALL look like the “Regular” size Hereford.

This is what I am looking for. The same, but better.

Thanks for all the information

Richard.

I try to do as much organic as I can. Used to have my own Pest Control Co., but did the best I could to use the least chemicals possible. Still Live in that world.

Everything we need to take care of ANY problem we have is here on this Earth. (paraphrased) and I totally believe this.

Hey guys, Tonight I fixed the grass-fed steaks you so graciously shared. They were wonderful. We had a glass of wine with our meal, and needless to say, it was a meal fit for a king. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and generosity. Conners, it was so great having you here. You seemed to be at ease here, and that made us feel so good. We are always so happy when people seem to be relaxed and at ease in our home. We want our home to be a place where others feel “at home”. We look forward to being with you both again. There are a lot of good times to share yet ahead of us.

Good Morning Conners . Happy cows in Havana, and as you indicated they would, they are filling out nicely. Bit of Gold is as tall as Moon Beam now and both appear to be both happy and healthy. I do have a question for you. Bit of Gold has dark markings on her nose (see close up photo). Is this some kind of condition we should treat? Another question is about worming? Is it still too early to worm? I seem to recall you indicated we should worm them about April, is that correct? When Conners was here he provide so much information we could not remember it all.

According to the tables, we think Moon Beam will calf in April, and as we talked about before, we think we should breed her back about May. And breed Bit of Gold about the same time. Please let me know if this is correct, We enjoy having the cows on our small place and are looking forward to the calf in April. If it is a heifer, good, but if it is a bull will you help us sell it. As I recall our discussions about this I can not keep it on our small place. (see the 4/25/07 message to see the results of this breeding program.)

Thanks again for all you help.  Huston – Havana, FL

I enjoyed talking to you tonight Conners . Ol’ Cibolo and Martin Luther have done themselves up proud. Cibolo sired 2 heifers and a bull. Martin Luther sired a heifer. They are all mighty fine looking calves. One cow (the one I called Nancy Beth) never calved. She has now been with 4 different bulls with no result so I will be taking her to market real soon. I hope y’all are doing well, we are certainly blessed. I took my little herd to the vet today and got them all current on shots and the calves all tattooed. Tell Nancy gal howdy when she gets back. The Lord be with you.
