| IRISH DEXTERS Originating in Ireland, Dexters were imported to the US in the early 1900's. Their small size and remarkable capabilities have made them the favorite of many. Dexters were known as the "Poor man's cow" with a preference for rough grazing, and ability to produce both milk and a beefy carcass for the table. Their docile nature made them a favorite of the Irish House wife. The shortness of the leg between the knee and fetlock is apparent in all heights of Dexters. They should be extremely healthy, and hardy in all climates. Irish Dexters are a small breed, with unbelievable abilities! Classed as a Dual-Purpose Breed of cattle, they are amazing milkers that also produce excellent beef. The meat is dark red in color, lean, tender, and of good flavor. Dexters are capable of utilizing rough feed with a preference for the weeds and grasses other Bovine will avoid. They have a remarkable food conversion ratio. The smaller size and weight allow for more head to be run per acre. Lighter weight results in environmental protection, less wear and tear on pastures, especially wet grounds. The Breed's compact size and docile nature allow Women, Children, and Retirees a chance to be involved in the management and handling of cattle. Meet our crew below. We have 1 Dexter Bull named Ricky and 3 Dexter Heifers Iris, Juney B & Madeline. All of them are registered with the ADCA. Our Dexters are tame and handled every day. Our goal is to raise our own future Dexters that will be well handled and tame. Fun for the whole family! |
