I am going to be off-line for a few weeks due to some medical problems. The list will be moderated by Larry. He is owner/moderator for several Yahoo groups so...
Hello All! The Muirstead Farm, located in Northwest Pa. has announced that Morris is for sale. He was purchased from Gabriella Nanci at the Dexter Cattle...
I'm trying to find a cow for a high school girl in Virginia. She wants a Dexter to milk. First choice is a dehorned cow already trained to milk, but will...
I will be heading south next weekend with an empty 4-horse trailer from SW Oregon to Palm Springs, CA. If anyone has animals that need transport I MAY be able...
I am new to the Dexter breed and have been corresponding with several people researching this breed. I live in central New York on 8.5 acres. I have raised...
Ann, If you go to http://www.pdca-pedigree.org/ and click on "breeders" it will provide you with a listing of Dexter breeders in your area. Also there is a...
Thank you for the tip. That is one website I have not visited before! It was helpful. However, there were only 7 breeders listed. I'm tell'in ya...there are...
I have just started into the Dexter business but was talking to a friend who is already in the business and he was talking about the 8' diameter hay rings...
A regular 8' hay ring works fine for my Dexters. The little ones eat around the edges and the bigger ones can reach the middle. My bull, 34" tall, likes to get...
Where are you located and what price tag do you have your cow. I don't care if she doesn't like dogs..its to my advantage..I live in the country where "dogs"...

Hi Richard, I don't remember voting on the chondro testing. It is immaterial because we have done it on ours anyway. I just can't get over your use of works...
Hi Dan, Too bad you didn't make it to California. If dwarfism is a good thing why do so many breeds market their cattle free of dwarfism? It's easy enough to...
... With this requirement will the tests be done more often?? Four times a year doesn't seem frequently enough when you have to wait for the results to...
Richard, There has always been carrier animals in Dexters, hundreds of years there was shortleg cows, I am not saying that it is good thing for everyone, but...
Personally I am raising a nice HN bull to run with my HC cows; however, that is my decision and I don't think the association(s) should ever try to dictate to...
... To be honest, I don't even mind testing bulls and making it public, but I do think that in a club developed to represent the members, it is important to...
Nina, Unfortunately the testing schedule is set by Bova-Can and so I'm not sure we can get them to test more often. With more tests perhaps it would be...
