These type of cattle are not used on commercial cattle operations, and are often breeds that are considered rare or threatened in comparison with the other popular breeds. Backyard breeds include Irish Dexters, miniature cattle like Mini Angus or Mini Jerseys, Galloway, Highlanders, and dairy breeds like Ayrshire, Guernsey, Jersey and even Holstein. Hobby farms are often quite small, and these small acreages require small stock, or only one or two of the larger type of livestock like dairy cows.
