I would keep her inside until her udder was well down, i.e about 2 weeks, expecially at this time of year with all the fresh grass. Reduce her feed to hay only, and depending on the quality, not very much, one to two slices a day. Then when you let her out, do so only for short periods to start wit...

Pat Short (Bedfordshire) has lots of old Dexter photos, as she is the archivist for the Society, but I don't think that she has them on a site.

Goodness what have I started! I'm one of those people that do not have a digital camera, and as yet no good at putting pictures on computers - the people I do know that have them, say that they never get round to printing them!

Thank you all for your comments - guess that perhaps I haven't got the breeding that people want? Unless photos look halfway decent, they can put people off if they don't do justice to the animal. It's always better to see.I will keep my fingers crossed.By the way, I saw some Outlaw heifers in Aust...
