Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

Last Saturday at York was a dismal day for Dexters. Most of the stock were quite frankly a disgrace to the breed in conformation,condition, and presentation. What a massive sickener for many of us trying to do our best to promote the breed, because anyone thinking of coming into the breed would be ...

My sympathy goes out to anyone who has or has had had "runners". They simply do not stop for anything. We lost two a few years back and they were out for nearly three months. We would be given sightings but could not get near. Living near Doncaster we called them Donny and Clyde! Eventual...

Once again the beef finishers around here are having a terrible job with pneumonia in their cattle, including a friend of mine who has regular problems and although this year he has fed a special and costly additive recommended by the vet he lost 5 beast recently, Touching wood, I have never had a ...

Justmalc, Sticking to the facts; 1. Council decided to set up the Steering Group on Nov 1st. There was no "coup". 2. Your own post shows that far from there being a "seizure" by the Steering Group of the Dexterforsale discussion board, this is a forum open to all regardless of t...

We used to struggle with bringing the herd in especially as they range over a fairly large open area but now we struggle less because we have got them used to following the pick up with Mary in the back rattling nuts. It works pretty well providing you regulate speed to that last b****y calf that d...

Hi Chris, We have a Council it consists of one elected member and 3 coopted members. The current Council was brought into being by the old Council during their private meeting and on doing so chose to resign and not stand for election again for another 2 years. I think the old Council deserves the ...

Well said Alistair. That "dark before the new dawn" as you put it is what is sometimes known as the fertile void and that fertility can easily result in bad things as well as good so we need to be on our guard. I was at the Council Meeting on Nov.1st and given the explosiveness of the sub...

Hi Mark, my post was to the effect that we all know that one person's small mindedness is another person's seeing the bigger picture. Not much doubt here, though, as the bigger picture is surely concerning the resignation of our secretary and how our Society is to be run in the future, which is exa...

Looking at the way forward I am with Woodmagic on this one - we dont want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I see this as a two stage process, with the first part being how Council handle the Nov 1st meeting. I trust they will give a full explanation of why we keep loosing proficient secret...

Doesnt it strike you as odd that in a Society like OURS when important issues like this arise OUR Council remains silent? Perhaps this topic has passed them by, perhaps they do not follow this excellent site (without which there would be no real opportunity for open dialogue), or perhaps they are t...
