farewell to our first dexter
Posted: Wed Sep 18, 2013 12:19 pm
our first dexters braemer emma, arrived with us on 11th october 2001.
emma had been sold to a local butcher for fattening but was in calf to her father calving at 17 month old before coming to us.
She had 11 calves, her last daughter being born last november, humberdale emma.
sadly due to lameness and not getting back in calf we decided to let her go.
our bull has also sadly been lame for a while so buth went to carnaby on monday.
figures for those who may be interested.
cow dob 07/05/2000 cold dw 202.2 kg class O+5L
bull dob 12/02/2008 cold dw 330.6 kg class O+4L
how do these grades compare for cull animals?
