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! It's time to replace my beautiful Glenland Redman. So I am looking for an outstanding, small, prefferably polled, red or black, very gentle and halter...
... I'm glad to meet you, Cheri. I hope you will enjoy the Dexter experience as much as I have. If you're ever in central Virginia, feel free to stop by. ...
I got some good advice to day. The advice was this. Don't sit around talking among yourselves and speculating. Get to the real source of information and ask...
Maybe we should be thinking about this too. Maybe the two associations should come together on the annotation. C. J. Welle Sybaritic Time Sandy, Utah _____ ...
C. J., Officially, the PDCA will require all bulls registered after December 31, 2006 to be chondro tested. This ensures that every breeder will know what...
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...
C. J., I have 3 HC cows in my herd and the sad thing is it took me all these years to figure out what I had and now I'll have to test just for the paper to...
"Herds that are tested carrier free will have no fee." Fee? Are you talking about DNA testing fee as in once a herd is carrier free testing is not necessary?...
Sorry I wasn't clear, testing fee. Breed a tested non carrier to tested non carrier and there's no need to test the calf as they'll be non carrier. Richard ~ ...
