Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

we had to jack a calf out of a wee dexter cow last week. she was in calf to the angus and was a second calver. it was as big as i would ever like to have a calf, and my ability was tested to the limit. but the jack worked and the cow and calf are doing very well. this all happened outside in a thun...
