Blue RoanBlack + Roan
White hairs intermingled with a black base coat, producing a silvery, smoke-blue appearance. Highly sought-after in miniature breeding programs.
Our Family
A small ranch with deep roots and gentle hands.
Make It Roan began as a quiet conviction: that raising animals well is one of the oldest and most honest forms of work. Our days are shaped by chores, weather, and the steady rhythm of the herd.
We are a family. Our children grow up alongside the calves — learning patience, responsibility, and what it means to care for something other than yourself. We consider every animal a trust given to us, not a thing we own.
We breed for temperament, conformation, and the quiet beauty of roan color. The rest, we leave to good pasture and good Lord.
Herd Sire

Rn/Rn

Two copies of the roan gene — passes roan to every calf.
Rn/n

Roan expression. ~50% chance to pass to offspring.
n/n
Non-roan
