Lets breed miniature cows, say 3 or 4 pounds. A whole new food industry awaits. While not replacing chicken as a favorite we might see Kentucky Fried Cow or Cow McNuggets. Maybe Shake and Bake for Bovine on your cow fingers. And hey, 4 legs.

       Veal would seem to be a good choice for you.

       Veal is young cows, and young cows are already a couple hundred pounds...   

       Besides, veal is nasty.

       no no! Good idea to breed miniature cows, but not for food. Lordy no, breed 'em for pets!   

       "What was that noise, jon?"
"Just my cow, he's ok"		   

       Or, let 'em wild in the garden as a lawn trimmer.   

       That said, your idea specifies breeding for food through some kind of genetic magicianship, so I'm compelled to fishbone it. So close.

       If you make the cows smaller, they will eat more for their weight. So, they'd be expensive to raise for food and would be hard to butcher ( more cases of (now what was it called? ))   

       Jonthegeologist, mini-cows would be hard to potty-train, and they wouldn't ask to get out!

       You could raise them in jars and collect 100% of the methane.   

       I'll have to run this by my cow-orkers.

       They remind me of those freaky Viking sheep that typically have at least four horns. Not sure which part of Scandinavia still breeds them, though.
