Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

Thanks Mark. I am always grateful for the smallest bit of help from all! I thought some of you might be interested in my current research. A number of years ago I researched the dun animals in America, traced the earliest animals to 1950 imports and to the Grinstead herd through the bull Grinstead A...

It's been a while and the Grinstead video is making it's way among newer owners and members. An owner from the Netherlands first brought my attention back to the herd again when he asked me a question about the Grinstead herd listings of 1949 and the copying of some information made me realize there...

I NEED 1930 herd books to work toward providing complete pedigrees for the website. IF you have 1930 herdbooks and would like to sell them. . . . please contact me. If you would be willing to permit me to pay to have them copied or scanned in PDF format and emailed to me. . .that is also an option. ...

Ms Gidney Thank you. You gave me permission to reproduce your earliest papers on your research and I did share them and I also made the thesis available to anyone interested. I am grateful and appreciative of everyone who has shared Dexter information and time with me. The Cardiff thesis as well as ...

Thank you Mark and Duncan and Mrs Nuttall. Finally! Does anyone on the board have a 1943 herd book? Legacy began as an American preservation effort and part of the effort included genotyping the foundation animals. It evolved into the genotype registry after Legacy established testing services throu...

Clive, I read about this TB disaster on the US board and feared for your herd. The good news is that they are Dexters! I have heard that when hoof and mouth caused so many herds to be culled in the UK that not a single Dexter had to be culled. The genetic immunity is something to be treasured and pr...

Can anyone tell me if this bull was collected and used for AI service?

Thanks,
Judy

There is a carrier bull in the US that has been collected for international export. His name is "Max of the Double D" and his sire is Parndon Bullfinch. I personally have a number of animals in my herd who has this ancestor. It is my experience that the personality of bulls from this line...

I came to A2 milk early when another Dexter friend made me aware of the science. He knew someone that was able to test through dairy channels and my herd was one of two that were tested early in the US. As I felt it important for other homesteaders and smallholders to be able to test their animals ...

I am an avid researcher and collector of everything Dexter. I was sent this website by a UK friend. Perhaps it isn't new to many of you, but I found the photos of the cattle as well as Lady Loder and her herdsman to be so clear and representative of the Dexters of that time period that those who ma...

I am an avid, compulsive researcher on the Dexter breed. I have collected a good many UK herdbooks, ( always looking to fill in the gaps) and I have been compiling the appendix registries over the past few years and hope to be finished in another one or so. I am also working on another area of inte...

I'm researching "blackleg" disease in cattle as it pertains to Dexters. Is this a disease in the past or present found in cattle in England? If so, does anyone know of anyone with Dexters diagnosed with this disease past or present? I'm interested to know if the traditional Dexter immune ...
