Purpose
Miniature cattle, including Miniature Texas Longhorn, are primarily kept as pets, or used as entertainment animals. "Full-sized" Texas Longhorn cattle are a source of lean beef, which is lower in fat, cholesterol and calories, but less tender than most beef. The miniature version could potentially be used for beef production, with lower feed demands, but higher processing costs. Currently, however, they have not been bred for meat production.
