Chris, who is 5’11” standing with a 3 year old miniature poll Hereford cow.

The Hereford on the left of the photo is a regular sized Hereford, right next to her is a miniature (horned) Hereford.

The world standard for miniature Herefords is that the animal has to be registered with the country’s Hereford Society (in Australia it is Herefords Australia) and under frame score 2. An adult (over 2 years of age) Miniature Hereford Cow can not be taller than 119.4 cm (47”) at the hip, while a Bull can not be taller than 124.9 cm (49”) at the hip.
