Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

We too use weebly.com and they give you great options for building your own website. It is a simple click and drag way to build a website and only took a few days to do. It saves online and you can edit it very easily, which is what I liked the most. Our old site was hard to update and so i never di...

Hi Clive Here in Oz we have been crossing Dexters in grading up programs for a number of years. I think (dangerous I know) you will end up with PB Dexters again. Our lines which started with Angus have better body capacity, rump width (hip/thurl/pin) and volume, and pass both these traits on to thei...

Hi Everyone There were 10 houses lost in the WA fires, I spoke to one fellow Dexter breeder there and the fire got within 2 kms. Here in Tasmania we have received 285 mm of rain in the past 3 days and there is localised flooding, we had sheds flooded this morning but they have quickly subsided. Som...

Vicki We have a composting frame we bought at Bunnings for about $24 it is wire panels about a metre square and it is ideal for keeping an animal restrained. I bought it for a Border Collie pup to sleep in so that it didn't mess anywhere in the house, but it has been used recently for a sick lamb i...

Hi Clive We had a lot of opportunity in Western Australia to process a number of cross bred Dexter animals and found that around 16 - 18 months a 1stX Dexter bull Murray Grey cow produced a liveweight animal around 320 - 360kg, which gave us a consistent 180kg carcase. Murray Grey was produced from...

Hi Everyone We lived in one of the hottest areas in the central wheatbelt in Western Australia and our cows would endure temperatures of 45 degrees C for days on end, with only hot winds. And on extremes the temperature would creep up to 48 degrees. They always had access to shade from large trees ...

We had a 13 month old heifer calve, and we had no idea she was in calf. She was being run with the bull and within 24 hours had produced a tiny bull calf. All on her own. She did need TLC afterwards with extra feed to get her milk going. She calved down two weeks before her mother. We always wonder...

We had a butchershop in Western Australia for a while processing Dexter beef and I purchased our mincer and 5 kilo hand crank sausage maker from ebay. Buy the biggest mincer you can afford, that is the critical factor in making sausages. you can get some great recipes for sausages off the internet,...

Our DNA testing for PHA from a hair sample costs $49 AUS, sorry don't know the exchange rate. Contact the University of Sydney via the web once in their site search PHA, Marie and Imke are very helpful. If PHA goes back further than Alderbaron Priapus through his dam, which is unproven at this poin...

We have recently had some PHA testing done and have had a carrier result returned for one of our PB cows which started with a Jersey X being inseminated with Trillium Chabotte. It has come through 5 generations and so my advice to people is to test anything with Alderbaron Priapus, Trillium Chabott...

Thanks so much for your encouraging comments, not bad since I designed it myself, having never done a webapge before. I feel rather proud that you all enjoyed it. Pete, our Barley based diet is produced using a mixall with a hammer mill. And we use a 4:1 ratio of barley to lupins or peas as our gra...
