The 4-H minicows are a far cry from the full-sized black bull Kristie Petersen had showed when she was in high school. The animal weighed nearly 2,000 pounds. Kristie, with a slender dancer's frame, barely clears 5-foot-2 when she's standing tall.
She gritted her teeth when the bull dragged her across the barn.
Now, she shows the family's minicows at state fairs with pride. But she does try to give the animals a bit of a pep talk before they enter the barn.
"They cower a little bit when they spot those big bulls," she said, patting the head of Stud, her mini Hereford bull. "But really, who wouldn't?"
