That is such an excellant account of the history of Dexters, Duncan, that I hope you don't mind if I print it off and give copies to people interested in knowing more about where Dexters originated from.

Can anybody tell me when Ped-E-View, mentioned by Duncan, is coming on-line? I and many of my fellow overseas breeders would dearly love to be able to get easy access to the old UK Herd Book records. I'm afraid it's one of my quirks that I don't like gaps in my records. Perhaps it comes from being ...

There are actually two types of bulldog mutations. There is the BD1 version, which is spread worldwide and there is a BD2 version which is only found in New Zealand I think, unless some NZ animals went to Australia. Testing for these two genes is now becoming very common here in NZ. Fortunately I o...

I can only compare Friesians to Dexters, but I can definately say that the Dexters have far fewer calving problems. I have yet to see one of our Dexters giving birth. They always seem to deliver in the wee small hours when we are asleep. When I look out the window in the morning, I just see a new c...

This line were actually good milkers, which is why my Dad kept her heifers. A bull calf from her line was sent to an A.I centre here in NZ for testing. Unfortunately he failed because of a weakness in his front feet (a injury sustained during birth). I don't know what happened to the decendants. My...

Duncan, what I meant was that she had two months with the bull this season, (the same period as the rest of the herd) but she actually spent about four months with the bull the first year we had her. Unfortunately, that was the year that she was underweight, so I don't think she cycled. This year s...
