Maybe you like cows but you live in an apartment where keeping one would be inconvenient. Your worries are over, thanks to Dustin Pillard, a farmer in northern Iowa who has been breeding miniature cattle for a few years now. His smallest, full-grown animal is a 3-year-old bull that stands 33 inches tall and weighs 320 pounds, about the size of an incredibly obese Labrador retriever. Pillard says he began breeding them as a novelty, but is now getting inquiries from folks in Europe, Mexico and Argentina who like the idea of keeping cattle as pets.
