Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

I have two copies, one bought from Ted direct (worth more because it has his fingerprints on it!) and a copy I bought at a car book sale which I keep meaning to put on ebay but never quite get round to it. Should anyone want to pay £500 for it I will throw in a live heifer with it too (not joking). ...

Hello Stephanie, On the BCMS site you can find out if any animal is alive/dead. There are quite a lot of 20-30 year old cows and bulls "alive" on the Grass roots system which does make it very frustrating and raise your hopes only to have them dashed by the reality of BCMS. (not that you w...

Having an unusually organised day and completed my herd return (took all of 5 minutes online). I think it needs completing (and membership renewing) by January 31st. Also paid my membership by phone for the first time (online banking too scary for techno dinosaur yet!) I'm sure this smug organised f...

What very sad and shocking news. John - I did not know very well but have met him several times at Rare breed auctions and shows. He always seemed a very kind and intelligent man. Ken - Sadly I have not seen him for many years but used to see a lot at shows and Dexter meetings. Ken was a thoroughly ...

Yes a very merry Christmas, and a Happy and Healthy New Year to all.

Thank you for running this excellent site for another year Mark (although I should be doing my Christmas preparation instead of being on here!)

Best Wishes Lisa Bell

O.K I am going to be bold and say it takes 30 minutes in man (or lady!) hours to halter train an animal. However this is based on 3 "tie up sessions", allowing 5 minutes to catch and tie up, and 5 minutes to untie and release x 3 sessions = 30 minutes. Session 1 - do not even attempt to le...

Would they like another 10,000 - 20,000 Dexters? And then the U.K garden would be a whole lot rosier!

Cooked a large Brisket in slow cooker for dinner tonight (10 hours on low). It was so good and far tastier than the "best" cuts. What are your favourite "cheap" cuts of beef and how do you like them cooked? (Could do with more slow cooker recipe ideas as really enjoying using tha...

I was standing in a queue to pay at our local farm store and overheard the lady in front of me talking to her friend. This lady was apparently "living the dream" with her beautiful house, small holding, chickens, few pigs and sheep and hunters (horses not wellies!). She was completely fed ...

I can personally recommend Amy for her very good cattle handling skills - nice person too!
Enjoy the show! Best Wishes Lisa Bell.

P.S I am hoping to come and watch the show Saturday (work permitting) - I will not be bringing my show coat, washed and away for the winter - social only!

Hello Tim/Rob The Woodmagics made round £330 -£350 (Catalogue is in land rover still, will post exact price later if no one else has). I thought that there would be "a bidding war" for the Woodmagic, as obviously there will not be any more with this prefix, and as one was a Petrel daughter...

Haven't used smilies before in posts but !!!!!!!!!!

Tried ringing Samaritans but couldn't get through - apparently they are experiencing a high volume of Dexter Breeders tonight !!!!!!

Congratulations to Lot 34 Fleet Alice (Mr and Mrs Wiltshire) on Breed Champion (Short Legged Heifer with calf at foot) and to Lot 34 Corkhill Bramley Apple (Mr and Mrs Simpson) on Reserve Breed Champion (Non Short Senior Heifer). Very nice non short bulls also forward in the show. Overall very nice ...

By the look of the photos there are some very nice animals forward at Melton Sale this weekend. I had tried to take some today of some of our lots , however the hot September Sun created too many shadows and glare - a rare problem! Will try again tomorrow. I know for a fact that some of the "un...

Hello Natasha, congratulations on your win, very annoying regarding the cup. Have you checked the show results for that year? The Dexter office will have a copy if you do not. We used to exhibit at Moreton many years ago and it was a wonderful show. Good luck with the cup search. (See you at Melton ...
