I made the drive down from Blackpool to Casilia Ranch to pull off the ultimate surprise for my wife and daughter—and I’m so glad I did!
At 54, I’ve bought plenty of things over the years, but nothing comes close to the service I got from David and Laura. They helped me keep the whole thing under wraps, made sure the trailer setup was spot-on for the long trip back up the M6, and sent me home with the calmest, best-looking little mini cow you’ve ever seen. When I pulled onto the drive and unloaded her, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house—my daughter couldn’t believe her eyes and my wife hasn’t stopped smiling since.
Worth every single mile. Huge thank you to David and Laura for helping make a memory our family will never forget!
Reviews from our buyers
“Best decision we ever made”
We couldn’t be happier with our two little calves from Casilia Ranch! Laura was an absolute gem from our very first phone call, answering a million questions about fencing, feed, and settling them into the Irish weather. They arrived healthy, calm, and already loving a scratch behind the ears. Best decision we ever made for our smallholding.
“Honest and genuinely passionate”
Huge thank you to David at Casilia Ranch for helping us find the sweetest miniature Highland heifer. We’d been looking for months and kept running into dead ends, so finding someone so honest and genuinely passionate about their animals was a breath of fresh air. The whole process was seamless, and she’s already the star of our paddock!
“Their temperaments are unreal”
If you’re thinking about getting mini cows, don’t bother looking anywhere else. David went above and beyond to match us with a pair that suited our family setup—especially with three young kids running around. Their temperaments are unreal, and David still checks in to see how they’re getting on. Top-notch service from start to finish.
“Completely stress-free”
Laura made the entire process of bringing home our first miniature Dexter completely stress-free. She sent us regular video updates before pickup and gave us a full breakdown of her routine so the transition was smooth. You can tell these cows are raised with real love and care. Thank you so much, Laura!
“Second to none”
We’ve kept livestock for years, and the quality of the mini cattle at Casilia Ranch is second to none. David was brilliant to deal with—straight-talking, super knowledgeable, and clearly puts the welfare of his herd first. Our little bull calf is thriving and has the most charming personality.
“Like giant puppies”
A massive shoutout to Laura at Casilia Ranch! As first-time cattle owners, we were a bit nervous, but she walked us through everything with so much patience and warmth. Our two mini cows settled in within days and follow us around like giant puppies. Truly wonderful customer service.
“The gold standard”
From the first inquiry to loading day, David couldn’t have been more helpful. He really took the time to understand what we were looking for and helped us pick out two gorgeous heifers that have completely stolen our hearts. Healthy, well-socialized, and raised properly—Casilia Ranch is the gold standard.
“So gentle with our daughter”
We are over the moon with our new additions from Casilia Ranch! Laura was fantastic to work with—so responsive, friendly, and organized with all the paperwork and transport details. The cows are in brilliant condition and so gentle with our daughter. Couldn’t recommend Laura and the ranch enough!
“They genuinely care”
Thank you, David, for the easiest, most enjoyable livestock purchase we’ve ever had. You can tell right away that Casilia Ranch isn’t just about making a sale; they genuinely care where their animals go. Our mini cows are healthy, social, and easily the best-looking cattle in the valley.
“Happy, healthy and spoiled rotten”
Laura was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She helped us choose the right temperament for our hobby farm and gave us loads of practical tips that saved us so much guesswork. Our little herd is happy, healthy, and spoiled rotten. Forever grateful to Laura and everyone at Casilia Ranch!
