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 ~ ...
I have noticed some of the bad effects of such thinking. My Dad and I raised Angus cattle. They were small and gentle. Before I bought my first Dexter I...
Richard, The main difference I see is that it was created in Herefords, it was not created in Dexters. I still have to laugh that what was going to make the...
Richard, The Dexter breed is a small dwarf caring breed. Has been for a century. The dwarfs have survived because of their UNIQUE qualities. Think on this ...
In a message dated 2/15/2006 11:50:40 PM Eastern Standard Time, ... Richard, I agree with Nina. I could NOT attend the AGM in California. That was a very...
In a message dated 2/16/2006 12:03:12 AM Eastern Standard Time, ... I second the emotion ! ! The percentage of attendees at the AGM, is not representative of...
... Hi Dan, just a fact correction from our stand point. There is no problem what so ever in regard to "not being able to sell the long leg dexters as easy...
Hi Jeff, I agree that long leg dexters are not hard to sell, my point most people given the option even when explained unbiasedly alot of the people still want...
... Judy, I don't. If we hadn't already gone around this table before on a discussion board then Dan and Nina might have an argument. I'll explain the...
No Cheap shot too it, I am a member of PDCA and I don't like this whole situation. There is no need to take such a drastic change. This wasn't something ...
Dan, I hope you're not having problems with your eyes because I've noticed that you've been using very large bold fonts. You may have mistaken me for someone...
