Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

Ted Neal ask me to post this message. I am so sorry to hear of Phillipa’s passing/ She was a most remarkable woman with a great sense of humour and more knowledge on Dexters than most others put together. It was great in 1992 to have her as Centenary President and be able to record her name for post...

I have received this correspondence and posted it here.

She will be missed on the show circuit especially down in her Devon home coun...

Must admit I have has a couple, nothing wrong with them.

I have just run a cull cow into JS Meats at Uttoxeter, they paid £130 per kg deadweight for my dexter but just check if you ring them. They only kill 2 days a week and you have to be there for 7.00am.

Well done Louisa.

Very nice Stephanie.

We are blessed as owners and breeders to be able to just about work as normal on our smallholdings, I for one am very grateful.

That's very random Louisa, but I hope you can find some.
