Miniature cattle are very pricey! Dexter's are pretty small, (cows no more than 42" tall, bulls no more than 44" tall) but they are not a miniature of another breed. They are a dual purpose animal, or some say tri-purpose as they make good oxen too.

You can read up on them at the Amercian Dexter Cattle Association's web site.
