Beautiful.

raise them rural.

These photos are of our three kids still at home, and we couldn’t be more proud of the young people they are becoming.

Coming back to the land has taught our family so much about hard work, responsibility, leadership, family, and taking care of something other than yourself. There are lessons out here that I’m not sure I even knew we needed.

And when I say raise them rural, I don’t mean you need 100 acres in the middle of nowhere.

An acre can grow a garden. Two acres might hold a garden and a few animals. Give yourself three, four, or five and maybe there’s room for a miniature cow, a milk cow, chickens, goats or simply more space for your kids to explore.

Because rural isn’t really about acreage. It’s about connection.

Connection to the land. To where our food comes from. To animals that depend on us. To work that needs doing whether we feel like doing it or not. And most importantly, connection to each other.

There are a million beautiful ways to raise a family, and this just happens to be the one we’ve fallen in love with.

You don’t need 100 acres to give your kids a little dirt beneath their feet and some roots beneath their lives.

raise them rural. 🤍

I didn’t get to do a Fresh 48 with Hazel and Truly, but I definitely got to do a Day 11.

Watching Hazel with her little girl, and getting to know Truly’s sweet little personality made this photo shoot so much fun.

These two are just the sweetest together, and Truly is almost too cute for her own good. 🥹

Truly will be available, even though I already know she’s going to be a hard one to see go. Her genetic testing for color and chondro status is pending, and we’ll share those results once they’re back.

For now, I’m just enjoying this sweet girl and all the Day 11 cuteness.

I have my very own Huck Finn over here. 😂🌱

The irony is not lost on me…

I spend all my time trying to produce the smallest livestock possible, while this man apparently has made it his personal mission to grow the LARGEST plants possible. 😂

Seriously. Everything he touches in the garden becomes enormous. The plants, the vegetables, the pumpkins… ALL OF IT. 🎃🌽🌱

Meanwhile, I’m over here measuring cattle by the inch, and he’s probably going to need a measuring tape by the FOOT for these pumpkins. 😂

Seven Daugherty Farm: where we grow tiny cows and apparently GIANT everything else.

I wouldn’t have it any other way. ❤️

Only 3 Left ( 9 have found the best pastures)

✨ THEY’RE OFFICIALLY AVAILABLE! ✨

We are finally announcing that these beautiful girls and boy are being offered… although I’m not sure we can call them “babies” anymore. 🤍

One of our trusted breeding partner farms has decided to take his program in a different direction, which means we have the opportunity to help place this special group.

🐮 All have measured under 42 inches except the blue roan
🩺 Biosecurity testing completed
💉 Vaccinated & dewormed
🌾 Several are breeding age
🤎 One is confirmed bred

We genuinely love these cows and, if we had the room, I would be figuring out how to bring every single one of them to Seven Daugherty Farm. Unfortunately, acreage has a way of keeping me honest. 😂

Because our partner’s goal is to transition his program, the offering on these girls is extremely fair. This could be a wonderful opportunity for someone looking to add quality, smaller-framed cattle to their herd or even start a herd of their own.

Serious inquiries only, please.
Message me directly for individual photos, measurements, ages, breeding information and offering details. 🤍

All located in Salem SC

There’s something about being outside early in the morning, watching mamas with their babies, that brings a kind of fulfillment to my soul I never expected. These pictures capture a moment, but they don’t come close to capturing the gratitude I feel.

The beginning of this year was hard. Hard enough that I genuinely questioned whether I wanted to continue breeding and raising miniature cattle. Winter brought down trees and fences, and then came illnesses and situations that challenged everything I thought I knew.

But instead of allowing those experiences to make me fearful, I decided they were going to make me better.

I pulled up my big-girl panties and started asking questions. A LOT of questions. I consulted with veterinarians, researched, reassessed our protocols, and asked how we could become more preventative instead of simply reacting when something happened. I’m incredibly thankful for the people at UGA and Auburn University who allowed me to ask questions and sometimes challenge the answers until I truly understood them. And for Dr. Berr at Country Creatures, who supported me when I decided I was going to take protecting this herd to another level.

I understand livestock. Cattle carry parasites. Bacteria and viruses exist. Stress happens. Animals get sick. There is no protocol that can prevent everything.

But I never want something difficult to happen here without learning from it.

Can I reduce stress? Can I strengthen immunity? Can I decrease the risk of shipping fever? Can I improve quarantine, vaccination, nutrition, testing and biosecurity? Can I recognize something earlier next time?

Those are the questions I keep asking.

Because being a good breeder, to me, isn’t pretending nothing will ever go wrong. It’s caring enough to keep learning when it does.

And this morning, standing in the pasture looking at these mamas and their babies, I realized just how thankful I am that I kept going.

They mean more to me than I ever imagined they would.

⚠️ SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING ⚠️

Cows may be HIGHLY ADDICTIVE. 🐮

Possible side effects include:
• Buying “just one more”
• Suddenly needing more pasture
• Knowing way too much about genetics
• Checking the barn before checking your phone
• Naming calves before they’re even born
• And convincing yourself there’s always room for one more. 😂

There is currently no known cure.

Proceed with caution. Once you get your first cow, you may never be the same. Some of these may be available 🫢

Last year, we had a client looking for something very specific: small, non-chondro heifers paired with a small, non-chondro bull. We helped put together a trio, and they were raised together.

Fast-forward to now, and the measurements honestly shocked me in the best way!

Both mamas are measuring around 39 inches, their babies are just 24 inches at four months old, and the bull is approximately 38 inches. And every one of them is non-chondro.

This is what gets me so excited about breeding. This isn’t the chondro gene creating small stature this is generations of selectively breeding smaller cattle to smaller cattle and seeing that consistency continue into the next generation.

Our clients have decided they may not want to breed and absolutely love the mamas as pets. The calves are available, and they may also consider selling the bull.

If you’re interested in the calves, I’m happy to connect you directly with them. Continuing to support our clients long after cattle leave our farm is incredibly important to me.

I’m so proud of the work we’re doing and our partnership with Family Circle Farms, who bred the sire and dam behind these genetics. ❤️

Small doesn’t always have to mean chondro.
