Seriously, how adorable are miniature highland cows? I've been obsessed with Pumpkin, the miniature highland cow at John Ball Zoo and wondering where else in West Michigan you can hang out with these cutie pies.
Well, here's the answer!
Thunder Acres Highlands is a farm in Sand Lake, Mich. that breeds and raises micro, mini, and mid-size Highlands and Highparks Cows. The farm is located at 21592 Kimball Road in Sand Lake.
They offer different experiences to hang out with the tiny cows, and more are coming up! I'd hurry though, because these events sell out fast!

Earlier this summer, the farm offered multiple "Painting with the Cows" sessions. There aren't any more on the books right now, but check back because they could add some!

Thunder Acres Highlands has "Miniature Highland Cow Experiences" too!
