Cattle rustlers in California made off with a rare breed of cattle.

Rick Sanders' ranch is home to the smallest-sized cattle in the country.

He says there's fewer than 100 of this kind of mini-bovine in the U.S. - and he had 45 of them.  He's down to 35 now after thieves struck.
   
"They're made to be respected," said Sanders. They're really hearty. They're long-lived. They're easy birthers. They're all these things. They're as good a cattle as you can find."

Sanders told the cattle associations that his miniature cows were stolen. So they're keeping an eye out for anyone trying to sell them.
