Miniature Cattle Breeder

Named for the creek that runs through our property, Oil Well Branch is a small 40 acre farm, located in the beautiful rural community of Metcalfe County Kentucky. We sell and breed micro and miniature Highlands and Highland crosses. 

 

We started our mini Highland herd in January 2026 with bred cows from the wellknown breeder "A Peculiar Farm" out of Missouri. Each Highland and HighPark cow was registered and bred by a registered micro or miniature chondro positive bull from "A Peculiar Farm."  Our silver chondro  positive micro bull is a son of APF Drax and currently stands 34" at two years old.  Several of his calves should be on the ground by late 2026 and he will be our main herd sire moving forward into 2027 and beyond.  So silver babies are on the way!  

​

We have also selected a few micro and miniature cows to crossbreed with our Highland bull.  We chose these cows to further achieve our goals of mini and micro in size while adding interesting color and patterns.  You can learn more about each of our cows here.

 

If you're looking for quality micro and mini Highlands and Highland crosses, that are highly socialized, with gentle and friendly natures, you have come to the right place.  Our calves are conceived and birthed in pasture, and raised by their mamas and interacted with daily from birth. It is our goal to be as transparent as possible with respect to size and origination of every calf we sell with current and accurate measurements on the parents, as well as calf measurements at birth.
