OUR BULLS...



Raising bulls from birth to maturity is something that I find fascinating. To watch them develop, change and mature is interesting. Each bull from youth to adulthood goes through many changes over the course of weeks and months, culminating in a beautiful, strong and personable herd sire. We manage 6 - 10 intact bulls of varying ages year round.

We select only the best of those bulls to retain or sell to other farms to continue certain genetics, the remainder are steered and go to freezer camp. If you are in need of a "top shelf" bull for your herd with proven pedigrees, give us a call to see if we have a good fit available for your needs. All of our bulls are hand raised to be gentle and respectful. We have never had the need to put a ring into our bulls noses...they are gentle and compliant without such treatment. We breed for polled genetics, gentle temperaments, superb pedigrees and avoid certain lineages on our farm that we know to be aggressive or that tend to consistently produce over-sized at maturity offspring.

CHOOSE YOUR BULLS OR HERD SIRES CAREFULLY.



We do not sell rank bulls. If our bulls do not have the temperament that we look for on our own farm, they will be steered for freezer camp, regardless of how much they could sell for or their beta casein results. A bull that is dangerous at his home farm (if handled and raised right), will be dangerous on any farm.

​

Our goal is to raise compliant, well behaved, healthy and actual miniature bulls for other homesteads for breeding purposes. Just because a bull has "the parts" to create new life, does not in any way mean that he SHOULD produce young! Today, many bulls are sold for the money only, with total disregard as to what that bull might produce in offspring, how he may behave around humans, or develop in the future.


While other breeders collect bulls multiple times for sales, it is our policy to collect a bull only once during his lifetime....what we get, is what we get. It is our opinion, that repeated collections with the same bull saturates the market with those genetics and many times will change the temperament of the bull long term, by the processes used for the collection. We never allow the "probe" to be used on our bulls...ever.



WHITE STAR FARM PETER PIPER
photo taken: 11.09.24



WSF Peter Piper is the apex of our breeding bull program. It is his profile and pedigree that sets the standard of excellence for our farm. His historical pedigree, mature size , temperament, flashy tri-coloring and gentle spirit, makes the perfect package. We are using him this year as our herd sire. He has settled select cows again, for the 2025 season.


We had a healthy mix of male to females this year from this bull...all were in the mini size range at birth except two, and those two were steered. Semen is available from this bull on the SEMEN SALES page.


There is just nothing at all we do not like about this bull!

We are so pleased to have a beautiful bull out of one of our little 3/4 % MJ mama cow, WSF Thief. Thief has a 50% dam of purebred Tarentaise...a French breed of dairy cow and a purebred MJ sire. Cisco has turned out to be one of the smallest bulls on our farm at one year of age. Unless he grows some, he is truly itty bitty!


He was born at 20" tall and beautifully painted. We will keep him for future consideration for breeding. DNA confirmed his sire to be WSF Monterey Jack.. More details to follow. Cisco will be retained for a future herd sire here.

WHITE STAR FARM OMEGA



photo taken: 10.04.2024



WSF Lil' Angel gave us a superb small, solid bull for the future. He looked a little "leggy" but when measured he was only 22". We are never disappointed when we get really nice bulls to raise here, and this little guy does not disappoint! We love our paints, but are pleased to have solid fawn too. :-)

His name is in line with his confirmed sire, DC Taylor's Alpha. His birth was uneventful, which we are always so grateful for.
THANK YOU, LORD!


More will be posted as he grows and matures.

WHITE STAR FARM CHEDDAR



PHOTO TAKEN: 06.15.2024



WSF Cheddar was bred and born on our farm, then sold as a young calf to a wonderful family in Texas. He is now mature at 3+ years of age and really looking super nice! He has the highest tail head set of any bull we've seen! To prevent inbreeding his daughters, we have him here at our farm. Cheddar is as sweet and handleable as the day is long!


Cheddar's sire, WSF Ranger, and Ranger's sire, MPRR Hans all look exactly alike! Even though he is black, he still produces fawn as well as darker coated offspring....even paints! We will be using him to breed our two yearling plus heifers for their first calf, since he is so small. He stands right at 41". We are very excited to see what he puts on the ground for us next Spring if all goes well!


WSF Cheddar has left our farm for his new home, also in Georgia. We are grateful to his current owner for allowing us to breed two heifers to retain his genetics on our farm. THANK YOU, Wagner family!



WHITE STAR FARM DEACON



photo taken: 11.09.2024



WSF Deacon is out of one of our very best cows and our bull, WSF Peter Piper, who is the apex of our breeding bull program. Deacon is going to remain a miniature throughout his life, if my prediction is right. My observations of these bulls over the last 18 years has taught me how to "read" their growth patterns.


Deacon was hand raised by us and is a super sweet and gentle little bull. He will be retained for a long time to breed here and see what he brings to the table in his offspring. He certainly has all the qualities that I search for in bulls to use as herd sires or to sell to other farms. Quality bulls like this are really hard to find..


Registered Name: White Star Farm Deacon

Registration #: MJHB1885
Date of Birth: 23 Sept 2023

Sire: WSF Peter Piper
Dam: JA Buttercup

Height: 33" @ 1 year

WHITE STAR FARM L:UKE



photo taken: 10.04.2024



Tia Maria surprised us with a late delivery about two weeks ago. We have name dhim "Luke". I really wanted to name him "Groucho" after a silent screen actor long ago...becuase of his eyebrows. Luke won out. :-)


Luke is very small and appears to me, that he may well turn dark or black coated. We are ok with any color as long as they are healthy. We will hold on to him for a while and watch him develop. THANK YOU, Lord for another easy delivery!


Registered Name: WHITE STAR FARM LUKE

Registration #: MJHB2011

Sire: MHF Cassidy

Dam: WSF Tia Maria

Height: 19" @ Birth

Horns: Heterozygous Polled

WHITE STAR FARM BENJI



photo taken: 12.02.2024



We got to the barn this morning to find this lovely little guy stumbling around after having his first meal. We knew Firefly was due soon, but not this soon! :-) He is by far, the flashiest bull we've had this year! :-) Benji will be bottle fed from his dam till weaning, for gentleness.


Fly seems to calve easily, although sneaky, so we were glad to find them both safe and sound. We have named him "Benji". We will confirm the sire when the DNA returns. Thankful to have another bull for the future!


Registered Name: White Star Farm Benji

Our Collected Mature Bulls...



These mature bulls are currently used either for live coverage here at our farm and/or have been collected. This page is for further information on each bull. If you are interested in semen on any of these bulls, please use our Semen Sales Page.



BARNYARD MINI DOCTOR SMURF


photo taken: undated Doc is 8 yrs old and 39" tall


Long ago, we met Nathan and Sherry Harris at their home in the mountains of Virginia. They sold us their last two cows...BM Ellie Mae and BM Doctor Smurf, then they retired. Miss Ellie and Doc have since passed away, but Doc was collected for future calves. These lines pass on the best temperament when paired with our cows and we will always keep these genetics here at White Star Farm.


Barnyard Mini Doctor Smurf is my baby of all my bulls, he is a1a1 beta casein, homozygous polled and superbly painted all over. His fertility rate was 98.4%, so he was collected only one time by us and lived his life out here at our farm.

Semen is available on this bull on our Semen Page


MHF TOMMY HAWK


photo taken: undated 2.5 yrs old and 40" tall


MHF Tommy Hawk was bred and born to a good friend of ours, here in Georgia. When offered the chance to own this bull, I jumped at the chance!

MHF Tommy Hawk is still alive and well, in California, and still breeding cattle. He has a sweet and gentle disposition making it very easy to handle him. Tommy Hawk is a2a2 and dehorned. He is the sire of several of our best cows still today...WSF Tia Maria is one of his offspring. He has remained under 42" at maturity.


MHF Tommy Hawk was collected one time by us and we have units available on our Semen Page.


HESTER'S RUDA


photo taken: undated 43" tall at 6 yrs of age




When we visited Annette Hester's in Indiana years ago, she had sold all her mini Jerseys, with the exception of this bull. He was purchased by us and brought back to Georgia to live his days here.


The day we got him home, he checked out the pasture and the mates there, then settled in. To date, this is by far one of the best bulls we've ever purchased. Hester's Ruda is now deceased but his genetics will live on in the semen that we have collected. This bull put superior paint on his offspring and even though he matured a bit taller at 43" @ 6.5 years, we love what he puts on the ground for us here! Ruda was a1a2 beta casein and heterozygous polled. Ruda is the grandsire of our WSF Peter Piper on his sire's side.


Semen is offered on our Semen Page for those wanting to maintain the historical genes and beauty of the past for this breed.


WHITE STAR FARM BUGSY


photo taken: undated 41" tall @ 4.5 years


White Star Farm Bugsy is out of one of the oldest lineages in this breed. He comes out of the Meadow Beauty lines, from Florida. At one time, we had 5 generations of his pedigree alive on our farm. He is such a good looking, well conformed and behaved bull, we had him CSS collected for export.


WSF Bugsy is a1a2 beta casein and homo polled. His dam is Meadow Beauty Ginger (38" @ 11 years) and his sire is Butter Cream Corner Tazer (41" @ 4 yrs) While Bugsy lived here, he never once gave us a bull calf....a nice heifer bull, he was!
