Thanks for that Duncan. If it doesn't have a white face, I'll get the calf DNA'd and check if by some way our own bull was the sire. There's no chance of the cow getting too fat. It was her thinness which I think prevented her from cycling properly. She looks like a normal cow now, instead of a gau...

To up-date what's happening with our cow. The vet has vetted her in-calf, yeah, BUT, He estimated that she was six months pregnant. Which coincides with the neighbour's red Hereford bull jumping into our paddock. urgh!!! I spend years waiting for a calf from her and she ends up getting in-calf to a...

Yes you are right Penny. It must be terribly disorientating for cows to be moved around singularly. We combined two herds when we first started out and then later added more animals from the same source as the first herd. Each time there was a bit a argy-bargy and it took time to settle down. We al...

In NZ our registration fee is only $10 and as most of the Dexter breeders in this country only own a few Dexters, I would think that they would register most of their heifer calves. The fact is, if you are grading up (as I am), you have to register 3 generations before you get what our rule book ca...

In NZ we can still register a heifer after 12months, as long as we pay double the fee. We can then register the animal up to 24 months. But after 24 months, we need to have council approval to register a animal. So if people decide an older animal really is worth registering after all, then they ca...

I too had a redish calf with a black nose and got all excited. But our Herd Registrar said no, its going to turn black and sure enough, she did. I've mated the mother to a red bull this year, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the cow's red gene gets selected. Toss of the dice, I'm afraid. We h...
