Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

I have not seen any episodes of the Yorkshire vet yet.

All veterinary skills aside, I doubt the Yorkshire vet can dance like "the Scottish vet"

Hi Debbie, approx. 20 years ago (!) we had a cow with similar. The vet left us some sachets of vile smelling power to make up into a drench and administer. It was made from Bovine Stomachs and its purpose was to stimulate the good bacteria in the gut to work and so encourage appetite and get the rum...

Thank you for posting the prices Mark.

Best Wishes for your future Roddy.

Have just realised today (and am now feeling embarrassed I had not noticed before!) that one of our bulls is naturally curly on his neck (actually very curly today while he was standing in the drizzle and doing his own "back combing" against the Silage ring). Our other bull has thicker nec...

Hello Judy, I hope I am not old enough to be considered an "old timer" but I do remember when we started showing our Dexters in the early 1980's seeing several show Bulls with the very curly hair on the neck that you mention. I do not think they were naturally curly but rather the curls we...

Love the existing site, am sure the new one will be great too - it should perhaps come with a warning however that the site is addictive (maybe its just me but I can't resist a sneaky peak most ...

Just a date for your calendars I have seen from the McCartney Website today

GOOD CALF DEHORNING CRATE ON EBAY AT MOMENT (APPROX 6 DAYS TILL AUCTION ENDS)

Office based morning today. Completed herd return this morning (paid membership by phone last week) - took a few minutes in total, very easy even for a techno dinosaur like me.

Best Wishes Lisa Bell - must stop wasting time on DCFS and get back to work!
