Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

Lovely to see someone achieving their dream, plus a very interesting article

current bid is £6 so a bargain at the moment

The dexters at flamingo have been there for many years, they where given to them by some one who could no longer look after them on the conditions that they where never sold on and lived their lives out there. I didn't realize that they still had them as they must be quite an age by now. They have n...

Ref voting for council members. I am not able to attend the AGM but even if I was, correct me if i am wrong but i thought we always had a secret ballet to elect new members to the council. I have never heard of giving someone my proxy vote to enable them to vote for me regarding this matter. If i ha...

I wonder if it is time for the DCS like other charities to publicly advertise for trustees from all walks of life perhaps nothing to do with farming or livestock or indeed friends/family of those involved with the breed. I think this is a suggestion worth giving some thought to. Maybe it would be w...

Hi have a old girl of 16 and she has had problems calving the last couple of times so as she is getting a bit arthritic I'm wondering if it would be worth taking her to our local slaughter house and having the beef back, rather than have her put down on the farm and skipped.

Sadly this means that a young bull wi...

I think an 'in house' discussion board could work extremely well in conjunction with release of minutes. Giving members an opportunity to discuss various points. In cases of special projects for example, there could be a discussion and then a poll that would save an awful lot of money in cases wher...

Hi Mark, I'm sorry you feel that the discussion board has been hijacked and it must be annoying but please don't close the board, i always tell new owners about it and it is such a wonderful source of information and a great way to keep in touch with other members, many whom we may never meet in rea...

For the past couple of years all communications from "The Office" and in the Bulletin have contained threats of penalties for members who are late with Birth Notifications. As the reason the DCS give for this rule, I assume once we are out of the EEC we will be able to have a meaning disc...
