💖 Known for their gentle temperament and strong, sturdy build, Falabellas make wonderful additions to your farm family and often excel in shows. While they're too small for adult riders, they can be ridden by small children and can even pull small carts.

🐄💡 Did You Know?

Dairy cows are natural recycling champs with their super-efficient,
four-part stomachs! They start with the Rumen, a 50-gallon 'fermentation tank' that breaks down tough grass with the help of microbes. Next is the Reticulum, catching any accidentally eaten objects like a built-in filter. The Omasum acts like a sponge, soaking up water and nutrients, and finally, the Abomasum—their very own real stomach—finishes the job by digesting proteins. This fantastic system turns simple grass into delicious milk! 🥛✨
