In this episode of Lil Hooves, we’re talking all about steers—the gentle cattle of the pasture—and why they just might be the perfect farm pet.

From their calm, affectionate personalities and low-maintenance lifestyle, steers bring big charm in a manageable package. Whether you’re looking for a pasture companion, a 4-H project, or just a bovine best friend to greet you at the gate, a steer could be just what your homestead needs.

We explore:

• The difference between a steer, bull, and heifer (and why it matters)
• Why steers are often calmer and more people-friendly than bulls
• Personalities of pet steers
• How they can teach kids (and adults!) about responsibility when joined with 4H

You'll also hear a few real-life stories about Kelly learning important lessons about cattle growing up.

If you’ve been on the fence about adding cattle to your life, this episode might just convince you to start with a steer!

We have started a small amazon store as a way to help support our small podcast. Please check it out! It is our hope to grow an online store that supports small businesses in the Miniature Cattle Industry.
