Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

I went to the sale first time in a very long time,looking for a cow and calf ,with little information over TB status in the catalogue I purchased .my hand stayed down .I was tempted with prices even to fatten for my freezer but unfortunately due to my main commercial herd I did not want to buy cattl...

It was interesting to hear names of bulls from when I bred dexters and it made me look at my flask ai details,my 2 remaining old girls go to one of our commercial bulls so its been a long time since I looked what is stored.

We were offered the price on fodder beet as we lifted it.but it was not for sale as we feed it all.,it can be fed whole or chopped.I am sorry we don't have any left ,but I know someone with some left you could put some in a trailer if you have just a few cows just chop it into pieces with a spade.

Hi Are those your little dexters on the side of Hayton ,if you are short of hay why not feed barley or wheat straw plus some fodder beet it is down to around £19 a ton excellent feed.As for out wintering have yousomewhere to make a pen all out commercial sucklers out winter .As for your steer the an...

Thank you I had better not use it.

Please can I ask what price sarum bullrush semen sold for melton.

I remember going to Stoneleigh Royal show ground sale in September before all these regional sales came.You saved up all year the best of the best were there a very busy 2 days.

can I just ask what bulls do you call rare and how much do you think the semen will go for.
I have just used some 30 year semen on a Simmental she was due to bull yesterday so fingers crossed she held last time.

have you tried bicarb I always have a tub in stock (supermarkets have them in baking section)mixed with warm water ,barley and potatoes are our big worry for bloat.Once new barley is fed I have tubs in stock

don't know dexter price but last week dwp was £3.90 on a R4L it has dropped a bit we were up to £4.10.
Are you only wanting dexter/cross.

I am sorry to hear about your cows. We always put a ring feeder in the field with some fresh barley straw in it,at the moment we are strip grazing stubble turnips (too late to drill corn in the spring) the cows are in an open yard at night they have straw during the night so that on turnout they hav...

I have a calf in the front field like that only it was his front legs ,had one before with back legs with the commercial cows I put it down to large calves not much room .We look after them to make sure they get milk either bottle or mum and put them in the field as soon as possible exercise does th...

I have not be involved in the dexter society since the 1990s ,It seems nothing has changed from the comments. My problem was I wanted a good beef type animal not a pet animal ,I think some are far too small . I think the problems are that those who HAVE to make a living with cattle are held back by ...

I would check that the minerals etc are correct ,it was my understanding to report any early calf losts.Also if you have purchased any stock or there is any chance of infection from outside stock have you checked for BVD.Make sure if this cow has never bred is it a PI.

wrong place I know but will ask anyone interested in buying a fridge trailer .Size of a livestock trailer double axle .You can walk inside and it has a meat rail up the middle takes 250lbs.I had it made for my farm shop and now it sits in the shed out of sight and quite frankly I am fed up of people...
