Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

What is the rock salt for?

Hi what way is everyone going with feeding at this time of year

I agree with Jac. We need some commercial dexter farmers. As a novice i dont understand why some people seem to fear commercial stock. Aberdeen angus were a rare breed not long ago, now as i said earlier even Mcdonalds are pushing it. There surely has to be room for commercial and true pedigree stock

I have heard of injecting chicken breasts with water but is that nnot taking it a bit to far

No one has picked up on my point Cost to produce 1kg dead weight Against sale price How do the figure stack up. Our nice low cost input Dexters against large cost input commercial breeds Breeding life for females, fertility,hardness etc etc. There has to be a market here for them. If anyones really ...

Can i ask when we will see Mcdonalds selling Dexter burgers?. Bit off the point but AA cows were not popular until they were marketed and made commercial. Push the low input higher return argument especially as feed price and grass become harder to get. Look at our weather now, how much must it cost...
