Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

I was very fortunate to have a Dexter friend with a dairy friend in New Zealand and samples from animals in our herds were tested in the beginning out of curiosity and because we surmised that Dexters having the positive qualities and characteristics we value would likely be producers of A2 milk. T...

I was reading the dairy topic and started to make this comment but thought it might be best to start a new topic. Are UK breeders familiar with A2 milk? My US herd is one of only two that were originally tested and confirmed with animals that were homozageous for A2 milk production. The test was no...

Yep! I'm desperate. :) I am a compulsive collector and researcher of all things Dexter. I am currently compiling information from historical UK herdbooks and I need the following herd books: 1951-1952-1953-1954-1958-1959. Would anyone who owns these years being willing to sell?

I grew up in a very small town and word does get around. I was laughing at the image of you trying to explain jogging through th...

I thought I would ask here since Duncan is so good about answering these type of questions, and hopefully...

While talking Dexter with a long time US breeder today, ( both of us fond of small Dexters) the arthritis word came into the conversation.

I must say, Inger, " You are absolutely correct", and as I am not one to allow "little" things to block my way for very long, I decided it was past time for the old dog to attempt a new trick. I gathered an ice-cold Coke, a clean notebook, pen, and my barely thumbed copy of &quo...

Re: Cardiff research As you know Ms. Rutherford, the US has in recent months submitted samples to the UK for inclusion in the Cardiff research. Your comment in the above thread raises this thought and question: The Woodmagic herd has been closed for half a century. The English herd has had consider...
