Re: Best treat

Thanks Saffy. I'm nowhere near you unfortunately but I do have a Countrywide store fairly close so could buy some calf coarse mix. These girls are actually 2 years old though(!), so will feeding a bit of calf mix be OK if it's only half a kilo or so between them?

Re: Best treat

I was going to fence off a smaller area with electric tape but wanted them to settle a little bit first else I think they will just go straight through it. Unfortunately, I do not have any other older cows to put in with them. I will try both of your food suggestions though and see how we go. Is dry...

Best treat

I have recently bought 2 heifers who are in a field on their own. They are a very skittish and run away wildly whenever they see me! I have been trying to give them a bit of bucket feed to try and get them used to me coming and going and to associate me with good things, but there is so much good gr...

Re: DCS Associate membership

I did contact the DCS office and was told if I owned ANY Dexters at all, even steers that were not registered animals, I needed to be a full member. However, I have been told by an ex-council member that if I only had steers and did not wish to register any animals I could take the Associate members...

DCS Associate membership

Can somebody tell me what is the difference between Full & Associate membership of the DCS. I sold my breeding animals last year and only retained 2 Dexter steers. Can I now switch from Full to Associate membership for this year?

Re: Bull or A.I. ????

Hi Ryesdexters,

I am secretary of the East Anglian Dexter Group. If you PM me with your contact details (email address and phone number) I can contact our members and see if anybody has a bull suitable for you. Are you loking for a short or non-short?

Finishing

If a 26 month old steer is being sold as "ready for finishing" would he require extra feed even at this time of year? What would you do differently to "finish" this steer that you would not do for the rest of your steers? How long would you expect it to take for him to be ready f...

Re: Advert Display Fix - Please feedback here...

I have noticed that when I click on the "East Anglia" section of the map it takes me to "Soth East" adverts. Is it possible to fix this or is it very complicated?
