Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

Hi everybody, How are your cheeses doing? My cow is dry so the cheese making level is low. But we are eating from the cheese store. This is a farmers cheese, stored for 3 moths. It has gotten some wild molds, that I have been wiping off regulary. http://underhund.com/miscpics/nov13.jpg Some of my p...

This is what dexters in snow look like: http://underhund.com/i/djuren/dexters_snow.jpg Picture from today. We have had a few more decimeters during the last 24 hours. This is more than a normal west coast winter, but nothing extreme – happens once in a while. Today the wind is biting so dexters say...

I have heard Jersey beef is very good, so crossed with the Angus makes sense for him to increase his income. We have a dexter x jersey cross in the freezer and the beef is good and tender (I find it too tender), but not att all as good as the dexter beef we have had. One dexter and one cross don´t ...

In Sweden we have what could be considered a normal winter. But here in the southern parts it is quite unusual that the cold stays this long. We have had around -10° C for about two weeks. Some days only -5, and a few nights -15. Today it is -15, but no wind so it is not to bad. We always are carry...

Happy New Year everyone! This forum is for me a appreciated place to come for talking and reading about dexters. I very much like the fact that the tone almost always is nice, without being superficial or ingratiating (I looked this word up in a dictionary, hope it is a suitable one). Me and my dex...

Hi Anna, usually when the cheese is getting runny like that it is because the proteolysis is happening too quickly. Using Thermophilic culture is what would normally help stabilize it. Yoghurt is thermo. Late lactation milk is also subject to excessive proteolysis. I changed the 'ingredients' to re...

Wow. I am so angry I cannot se this F word thing from here. I am curious if anyone who has made cheese from dexter milk also have tried milk from other breeds. My feeling is that the dexter milk is outstanding for cheesemaking, but I have not been able to compare. Will buy some holstein milk when m...

Liz, I am very happy that the cheese turned out well! It looks yummy.. I have had problems with my own semi-soft cheeses lately.. Everyone made since late august have turned out soft and creamy, not sliceable at all. But they have a very unpasteurized and full bodied taste. And they don´t get the a...

There is a bunch of Saab drivers here.. Thoose Saab 96 where nice, unfortunately they are more or less extinct together with the Amazon and (my favourite) Citroen DS population. Sweden has changed since the sixties I am afraid. Some to the better, some to the worse. Less cows (lots of horses instea...

Buy it as pet food is probably a good idea. Maybe even legal. Here, Sweden, milk farms can actually legally sell small amounts of milk directly from the tank to neighbours. It is a little strange since legislation around food generally is created to support the large-scale and industrial production...
