The Queensland Miniature Boran is a smaller variation of the Boran cattle breed. It was developed by breeding down the standard-sized Boran to produce a smaller, more compact version. This breed is known for its gentle disposition, hardiness, and adaptability to different climates. They are often white or grey with black points, but can also be found in red or pied. Queensland Miniature Borans are primarily used as a meat breed and are noted for their high fertility and early maturity. They are also well-suited for life in hot, dry environments, and are known for their resistance to ticks and eye diseases, as well as their ability to survive on low-quality feed and limited water supplies.
