Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

How nice to hear from experienced folks like the Kirks. I cannot agree more that there are really two sides to this, especially as the breed expands not every Dexter owner wants to show, and not every animal in a large herd needs to be individually handled. But for the top sales like most breeds I ...

Surely if you banned short bulls you would still get a percentage of shorts from Long bulls x short cows, but would you ever get short calves from long X long matings? If not it would seem that shorts would be bred out of Dexters in not too long a time. Yes, Sylvia, that was my proposal - to stop a...

Liver Flukes come in various species of the order of Trematodes, and are generally flat roughly oval shaped parasites which enter the body by the mouth as immature stages and migrate to the liver, living in the liver tissue and damaging it as they make their way to the bile ducts where the mature a...
