Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

After having my 2 dexter cows A.I.'d this year and both not successful , I was wondering (only thinking at the moment) if anyone on the Powys/Shropshire boarder has a bull to hire. The girls are my pets but I would also like reap some (I know small) benefits. I didn't have them as ornaments!!!! (as ...

As my husband has bull beef on our farm, as an experiment(so he says) we (he!) is going to leave my bull calf to see what he turns out like and what he will be like at 16 months as that is when his other bulls go. So we shall wait and see.

Been out all afternoon watching the vet doing a c-section luckily not on my girls, on a young Limx heifer. It was amazing to watch.

Thanks but we are just over the Shropshire/Powys border.

Would love to give him a home but its a bit too far to come and we don't have a suitable trailer.

We had our first Dexter calf this week, he is so cute.Within 1/2 hour he had his first feed and was trying to run around the pen. Our Hereford and limmis are never that keen and we usually have to help them suckle. They say the best things come in little packages!!

We have been waiting for our cow Tiza to have her calf, our first born Dexter on our farm. He is called Brynaston Adam. He is so cute and best of all , all is well with mum.

Not sure if AI worked as we saw some very strange behaviour from another cow who we thought was calving. How long should you leave then before they are pd?

Just wondering if anyone knows anyone with a young dun heifer for sale as my daughter wants one for her birthday( she's going to be 7). I think She might have caught dexeritis from me!!!!! We are in mid Wales.

Not sure if we can buy injections, will have to look into that for next time. We had thought of hiring a bull but as these are only really my pets we haven't got the space for a bull.

No embryos just A.I,sorry.

After waiting for Chloe to start bulling and nothing happening, we have had the vet out twice to her for injections,she is bulling tonight and so Genus is coming out in the morning. An expensive calf already and it hasn't even been conceived yet!!

What signs are there to look for in a chondro carrier please?

I've been a farmers wife for over 20 years now but now I have 4 dexters of my own I found it really sad today that we had to wean Tango. We put her in a shed with other heifers but she didn't like it and escaped through a feeder! Tiza her mum, doesn't seem that bothered, I think she wants a well ear...

Can anyone recommend a black bull for A.I. please, thank you!
