Miniature Durham Shorthorn Cattle
Miniature Durham Shorthorn cattle trace their origins to Durham, England, where they were recognized for their beauty and structure as early as the 18th century.
They also hold a special place in American history as one of the first cattle breeds brought to Oregon—traveling by wagon along the Oregon Trail with early settlers.

Breed Characteristics
Miniature Durham Shorthorn cattle are a true dual-purpose breed, valued for both beef and dairy. They finish efficiently on grass and, thanks to their smaller size, are exceptionally easy on pasture—leaving a minimal footprint compared to larger cattle.
Known for their gentle disposition, they are easy to handle and well-suited for milking. While smaller in stature, they are hardy, durable animals—not delicate.
For those seeking the ideal homestead cow, Miniature Durham Shorthorns offer the perfect balance of productivity, temperament, and manageability. At Sundance LB Stock Farm, we have been selectively breeding these animals for over 30 years, continuing a focus on quality, consistency, and function.
About Miniature Durham Shorthorn Cattle Program
At Sundance LB Stock Farm, our Miniature Durham Shorthorn program is centered on producing practical, efficient cattle with strong heritage and dependable performance.
We focus on true dual-purpose animals, well-suited for both beef and dairy, while maintaining the gentle disposition and manageable size that make them ideal for homesteads and small farms. Sound structure, easy handling, and pasture efficiency are key priorities in our breeding program.
These cattle are selected for their ability to thrive on grass, minimize impact on pasture, and provide consistent value in a smaller, more manageable package.
With over 30 years of experience breeding these animals, our program reflects a long-term commitment to quality, functionality, and preserving the characteristics that make Miniature Durham Shorthorns such a valuable addition to any operation.
