Dexter Cattle
Dexters are wonderful grazing cattle with incredible personalities.
We love all our Dexters. They pasture with our horses, goats and livestock guardians.
You need approximately a half acre of grass per Dexter.
In winter have a dry lot or sacrifice area and feed hay.
The Livestock Conservatory states:
Dexter Cattle are among the smallest breeds of cattle in the world. The Dexter is a dual-purpose breed that is hardy, forage‑efficient, and has excellent maternal qualities. As with other dual‑purpose breeds, the quantity of milk produced varies among strains; those strains selected for dairying produce more milk, while those that have been selected for beef produce less.

1 - DF Indy was born early December 9, 2021. Indy is Naturally poled like her mom, weaned and ready to go. Indy follows me and likes scratches when eating. Going to be super mom, extra curious and great size for easy calving. Indy is going to be on larger size. Personality like a big lab!
2- DF Kim Kowdashian was born March 1, 2022, flashy sassy horned girl that loves to play. She gets zoomies a lot and runs around with her friends. She loves to race the atv when we throw hay.
3- DF Klover was born mid March 17. 2022. Klover is the only dwarf in the bunch. She is going to be on extra small side like her dam. Klover is a spicy girl and Iikes to play chase with her brother Shamrock and our Great Pyrenees puppy.
