Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

Penny, I certainly would not accuse you of neglecting your stock; I was fascinated with your story of weaning. I am a great believer in letting my cows take charge as far as is reasonable. Unfortunately, it would not be feasible for me to experiment. My ground becomes too wet usually in October, an...

I was very interested in the information on rearing for beef. I am aware of my own ignorance on the subject, since I have no experience. I have buyers who come back regularly for my weaners, which I never take on beyond weaning. I was surprised to hear the advice to leave them to wean naturally, I ...

I would endorse you on two points, Mark, it is all too easy to overlook the problem of fly strike when disbudding at this time of year, and if you have trouble catching your calves it is likely to make for severe trouble.

Firstly, Penny, I haven’t met you, but may I add my good wishes for your speedy and complete recovery. I am always thrilled when I hear of any breeder aiming for small Dexters, bulldog free. I was overwhelmed by all the compliments, I think you should be thanking the Dexter for being such a charmin...

I don’t know whether Andrew Sheppy does take a look at the discussion Board, but I do know he is unable to do so at present, he has had that worst of all scenarios, his computer has gone down, and it looks as if it is a major disaster, not a minor repair.
