as Chairman of the Scottish Dexter Group I am hoping to start a members beef marketing commodity , as individuals it is sometimes difficult to offer the continuity of Dexter beef due to the geographical Location of our members . I am in discussion with interested parties offering Dexter beef on a mo...

With sincere apologies I must amend details regarding our calendar . Last year we sold the calendar to all member of the Dexter Society for £6 which included postage . Unfortunately the Post Office in their wisdom have now raised the bar and they now class our calendar as a small parcel . This means...

Hi All Once again it is that calendar time for 2015 , the Dexter Cattle Society Scottish Group have produce another ideal gift or that useful tool for the kitchen or to hang in the cow shed . It was successful last year and we thank those that purchased and we hope you will do the same again. You ca...

My black Ashieburn cow has just produced two lovely twin red calves AI to Planetree Talos . Both are very healthy , not that it's a down side but they are heifer and bull . As we know if a heifer is twined with a bull calf the heifer is normally infertile . Duncan MacIntyre has told me that this is ...

This does not actually answer your question but thought you may be interested . I have not really had much of a problem requiring replacements so I use Zee tag BVD tester tags . If you only breed a few calves under ten you should try the tester BVD tester tags , they cost about £ 6.00 each . It soun...

If you are asking for 1 individual copy , I am sorry it is not economically possible to produce 1 single calendar . It can only be viable for you or your group if we can publish a quantity from min 50 upwards . If you wish to contact me direct I would be delighted to give you the break down of costi...

If any group or herd wishes a similar calendar our group would be happy to create it for you . All that is required are the twelve digital photographs you wish to use , y...

You are having a laugh , for the price you are offering can't imagine how you expect to get legs at all ?

Hi Rob , it is frustrating , i can only inform you of what we hope will happen in Scotland , firstly we don't have Dexters going through the market or at least very seldom , auction houses in Scotland are quite reluctant to accept cattle from over the border . If Dexters enter the market in Scotland...

I am sorry I seem to be in the minority in the hope that breeders would like more money for their pure pedigree Dexter breeding females , how silly was I ?. but reading the replays everyone is more concerned talking about the price of Dexter beef which I have no problem with and that the Dexter shou...

We all know as we have stated that good Dexter cattle prices are far too low , Rob went to the trouble of working out selling averages , I was interested to see that the colour of an animal takes presedense , it confirms that many Dexters are being bought more as a novelty , there is no difference i...

Hi Dominic How right you are I am back at it again , until the right people recognise that Dexters have a place in the market I will keep at it . Good pure pedigree Dexter cattle producing good quality Dexter calves have a very good place in the production of beef , if we can organise those breeding...

Hi Rob Many buyers of Dexters are those who have just purchased a premise which has a few acres attached , because they have this land they decide to buy a few animals , because of low priced Dexters they are appealing . Let's face it you can buy a Dexter less than a pedigree poodle puppy . If Dexte...

When you really think about it , the breed is getting in a mess , the majority of what's being sold as Dexter beef may have partly Dexter but it's crossed so no matter what you say it ain't. Other breeders are using Dexter cows as surrogate mothers because they do a better job than a their own breed...
