Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

yes it all gets a bit more involved when you try and do it all above board i still think its a problem in that the dexters vary so much in price that its difficult to value a herd unlike a more commercial cow its taken on market value at the time of valuation . with the current econic climate i can ...
