Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

A few years back the Society tried to get the autioneers at York to allow us to have the animals inspected and graded, but they would not allow it ( it is well minuted by Couuncil). In my opinion the only way to have cattle and do the breed justice is to conform with the rules as they are at Melton...

Just to add my point of view on the increase in fee's, We cannot blame the new Council, if you note at the top of the page it says, Quote: the Steering committee put forward a suggestion that the fees had not been changed for four years and it is with this in mind that the Council present the revis...

Clive your comment on putting peoplle off by finding a bulldog calf in the field is a little bit over the top, if, as we are supposed to be a dedicated and friendly society. Individuals who sell animals, I am sure will advise the purchasers of the long/short, short/long principle which has been fol...

yes Peter, I can agree with you on farming for profit,but I would say there are very many people interested in just having one or two for a hobby and fill the freezer and the shorts really appeal to them, i would be intersed to know what the average nuumber of animals per member is, an interesting ...
