Our 2005 Mini Registered Hereford beef cattle are only about 42" in height but produce upwards to 70% of the rib-eye area of animals twice their size and yield smaller, right-sized steaks! These miniatures are the most efficient, absolutely the cutest and tastiest cows available. Gentle and easy to care for, these little cows are ideal for small acreages, companion programs, and family "freezer locker" operations.

| We are cleared or will apply for clearance and we ship via FedEx to all US and Territories and many foreign countries. As far as we know, we are the only Miniature Cattle Ranch in the Americas that has been cleared to ship embryos to Europe. Being accredited to ship to Europe and England offers some assurance that the strictest standards of quality and health have been met and inspected regularly. Stud Services: Print Friendly Version (Contract)
There are three Stud options that we make available:
1. Each of our Herd Bulls is available on the basis of $250.00 per head of cow(s). You simply bring your cow(s) here to Falster Farm and we offer 60 days on our farm for your cow(s) to be bred "pasture exposed." Cows with calf at the side have a $.50 per day added feed cost. We observe and record breeding activity daily, noting date of probable service and then we issue an expected day of gestation completion so you can stay on top of the gestation cycle.
We guarantee the breeding on our side. You should have her palpated after 90 days from our observed service date. Should your vet find her open, you bring her back here for another try. We only ask that your vet
verify with a statement that she is otherwise breedable. Upon return, we will have her palpated and checked (for cysts or other internal abnormalities as well) by our vet. If found open and otherwise breedable, we will give her a shot of ludalase and put her back in the
pasture for exposure at our expense. If your vet miscalled the pregnancy, we simply ask that you pay the palpation fee we are charged.
If your vet miscalled her breedability, and we housed her we will refund the difference between the amount paid and the boarding rate.
Example we had a cow here that was bred and returned, the vet finding her open. We palpated her and found a large cyst on each ovary. This cystic condition is in treatment as of this note with hopes she will find relief and
successful breeding in the coming months. Most vets today simply don't have the exposure to embryology as we do. Dr. Bien has his hand inside a cow "five days out of just about every week of the year." We are good at this, we have had two other cows brought to us that
others could not get bred the results being successful. We discovered their problem (one by accident,) fixed it, and had two successful gestations, one delivered a nice heifer the other a nice bull calf.
Payment is due at the time the cow(s) is picked up and an American Hereford Association Stud Certificate of Service is issued to you. Your cows must have had the standard shots for pink eye, black leg, antiabortion, etc.
within the last 11 months. If their shots are not current, we will administer same on their day of arrival and bill at our costs.
2. If you have a number of cows you wish bred. You can rent one of our herd bull at a price of $9.50 per day. You pick him up and return him here to
Falster Farm. Rental fee begins with the pick up day and ends the day after he returns. If you require, we can deliver him at our mileage cost per mile calculated round trip. Payment for mileage is due to the driver upon delivery. Payment for the stud service is payable
prior to picking up the bull. While the bull is at your farm you must provide feed, minerals and fresh water daily as we regimen; and, all bovines on your place must be current on their vaccinations w/in 11 months.
3. AI using our semen is available as well. A straw is available for $25.00, with no minimum of straws in the package. Calves resulting from this service may be registered
by requesting an American Hereford Association AI certificate, the cost of which we include for a fee of $225.00 plus the applicable AHA Fee per certificate (Currently $20.00.) AI straws to off-shore destinations
cost $35.00 with a minimum of 25 straws. All semen is F.O.B. Winnsboro, TX 75494. We have shipping containers available.
As far as I know Falster Farm is the only Miniature Cow farm in North America that has accreditation to ship frozen embryos and semen to the European Common Union Countries. We have spent many hours and several thousands of
dollars to get our program positioned for such accreditation. In a way, its your best assurance of quality that is available on the planet earth. Others may have more cattle but none have better quality or service than is available
at Falster Farm.
Embryo Transplant Services: We have flushed 4 very fine females and have fertilized frozen embryos in the lab. U.S.A. - Eggs are available at $750.00 per fertilized embryo in the U.S.A. with a 10% discount on 6 eggs, take an additional 5% on 10 eggs and an additional 3% on 15; in your container, F.O.B. Tyler, Texas. We have new containers (small) for sale ($800.00 - but contact us for current pricing.) From time to time we have used small containers for sale starting at $300.00. We rent/loan containers with a deposit commensurate with the risk. We ship via FedEx at a substantial discounted rate. We pass along our savings to the customer, assuming no additional handing is required. Off Shore - Falster Farm embryos and semen are cleared for shipment to all ports, including Europe and England. Minimum shipment is 30 eggs at a price of $1000.00 per egg w/no discounts available, in your container, F.O.B. Winnsboro, TX 75494.
