Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

Since I use AI only, I tend to watch my girls very closely re bulling. Usually after calving they cycle at around the two week mark although I had one start on her 9th day, part horse I think :p and a first time calver at about three weeks. I don't usually usually try AIing until the heat that woul...

Thanks Sue; That's very generous. I look forward to hearing from you ... and that liquure sounds wickedly dangerous. Definate holiday menu item! Kathy when I make butter from Dexter milk,unless it is either the begining or the end of their lactation when the milk has a higher Bf content, I culture ...

Thanks Penny for the info about flavour and size (24 mos vs 30) We were actually wondering. The last steer sent was 27 mos and 'grass-fed' except that mine are all given about 1/2 pound of grain every second day...for 'escape' purposes. Much easier if they are all 'addicted' to grain to get the odd...

Thank you so much Sue! What fabulous information! So it isn't my imagination, the globules are truley smaller.

Thanks Duncan; You are right of course, about 'generalizations' and I apologize if it appears that I am doing that. Working with milk and turning it into cheese is a bit of a passion for me and my assumptions about the Bf content, are only because of the average yields of certain soft and hard chee...

I have been milking and 'dairying' with my Dexters for the past 5 yrs, before that goats, and for the first time I am working with a friend's Jersey milk. I know that Jersey x Dexter is a popular cross in the States and so I posted this also on a US site. I am hoping that some of you with experienc...
