Unregistered and AHCA Registered Cattle

• Scottish Highland Cattle are not naturally a small breed of cattle.  They need to be cross bred to acquire this genetic deficiency which can be fatal.

• Breeding for and promoting this genetic defect in cattle is irresponsible and not in the best interest of maintaining the majestic Scottish Highland breed.

• We do not have or ever will have Minis, Micro Minis, or whatever name is currently trending.  

• Enjoy the normal calves when they are little, they grow slow and are cute and cuddly without the defective genetic traits.  Raise real cows.

This is an AI search for "Dexter/Highland chondro" and the search results.

•  AI Overview
• "Chondro" refers to chondrodysplasia, a genetic disorder in cattle that causes dwarfism, often seen in Dexter cattle. The "Highland" part refers to Scottish Highland cattle. The term "chondro dexter highland" likely refers to a cross-breeding of Scottish Highlanders with Dexter cattle, potentially for the purpose of creating miniature Highland cattle. Breeding chondro-positive Dexters with Highlands can introduce the bulldog calf genetic trait, a fatal condition. Here's a more detailed explanation:

• Chondrodysplasia (Chondro):. This genetic condition in cattle leads to dwarfism, characterized by disproportionate growth and short legs. It's a well-documented trait in Dexters, sometimes referred to as bulldog dwarfism. 

• Dexter Cattle:. Dexter cattle are known for their small size and docile temperament, often used in cross-breeding programs to create smaller cattle breeds. 

• Scottish Highland Cattle:. A hardy beef breed known for their long, shaggy coat, Highland cattle are not naturally small. 

• Chondro Dexter Highland Crosses:. Cross-breeding Highlands with chondro-positive Dexters can result in miniature Highland cattle, but it also carries the risk of introducing the bulldog calf trait if both parents are chondro carriers. 

• Bulldog Calf:. This is a serious genetic defect where calves are born with a disproportionately large head and are unable to survive. It's a result of breeding two chondro-carrying animals. 

• In essence, "chondro dexter highland" refers to a cross-breed where Dexter cattle are being used to introduce the chondro gene into Highland cattle, potentially to create smaller cattle, but also carrying the risk of the bulldog calf defect.
