Hi! I am new here and want to learn as much as possible about Dexters. I am not on a farm currently, but hope to be able to raise endangered breeds some day....
In my case, I had a team of oxen and when they died I began a search for new pets. I looked at several breeds. Neil and Pat Sorensen invited me to Little Bit...
I got a lot of these ideas from Carolyn Christman and Phil Sponenberg, but don't blame them. ;-) Draw a large circle on a piece of paper. This circle...
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaw, I am a sucker for the little cute short girls. I just love my little short legged Pearl. Could be because I am a smidge over 5' myself. But...
Amen. Good point cd. Culling large long legged cows is ludicrous. I bought my heifer for milk production and the Kerry type Dexter with the long legs is...
I'm fairly new to Dexters. I recently spent a lot of time researching the different breeds of cattle. The number one attraction to Dexters was their size. ...
Hello All, I know this is not about Dexters but. I have 3 Sebastapol Geese for sale and an older GFQ Incubator with Auto turn an two trays. The Geese are 1...
Well Gene, don't you know it all now? I happen to love my Dexter and think she is the most beautiful animal in the world and I would not trade her for...
Sorry to say what I said Gene. I took your remark about "if you want a Kerry cow buy a Kerry" rather personally. Since I was the one who said I liked my...
I think I started this by asking the question, "Why would you be breeding for bigger Dexters?" I wanted small cows, that is why I wanted Dexters. I like both...
My goodness I am a leetle bit late bringing this topic to the board, since nomination replies are due to be in the mail tomorrow, ( 25th), but better late than...
Hi! I'm looking for semen from a small (under 45") registered bull; black or red, polled, beefy and with a great disposition. If you have some or know who...
I have semen from three of our bulls. Two red, two black, all polled. One is homozygous polled and will not throw any horned calves. They all have nice...
Thanks for the reply! I like the looks of Fedrick. Has he been tested? How tall is he? How much is the semen? Is he the "guarenteed polled" one? I have used...
More cows wanted on the West Coast. If anyone hears of or knows of milking or milkable cows I have someone looking, also. Dexters or Dexter X Jersey are...
... What Size Irrigation Pump do you need? ... I am out here far enough to only get 26,400 on my dial-up so reading everything by mail is best when I am really...
I am really not sure exactly what I need. I remember helping my Dad opening and closing the gates in the irrigation canals to flood irrigate. That was darn...
Hi Margaret! We also have flood irrigation. It might be cheaper for you to have the ditches dug out, and replace the gates. Then it would be done and...
Thanks, Anna. I think you are probably right. Everyone here is switching to sprinklers and I do understand it is much more efficient. We have water rights...
Flood irrigating would be better, but didn't work for us. This is the type of reel sprinkler that we use now: http://www.waterreels.com/PastureIrrigation.ivnu ...
