Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

Very good rate for kill and cut - would be significantly more than that for me

Sometimes only necessary to poke a bale over the feed fence on the loader and let the bull take it from there

How do you fancy selling a few heifers on commission

I would very much hope that you would keep the discussion board - facebook is all well and good but this forum has its strengths as well

We have a few heifers for sale and were asked if we had any steers for sale, which we do, after an exchange of emails:--

"I would pay up to 400 for a 24 month old one."

does anyone sell cattle at these prices??

1. Do you have a previous bull calf with the same genetics ? Yes - go to 2 / no = Steer 2. Is the previous calf really good and maybe should have been kept entire? yes = go to 3 / no = Steer 3. Is it a bloodline you want to keep? yes = go to 4 / no = Steer 4. Is there any local or regional demand fo...

Register him or steer him, difficult enough to move a registered bull in my view - rather than use an unregistered bull I would use an Angus or other native.

I've just been updating a little project of mine to predict returns from a beast in terms of products, and pricing necessary to achieve a target return. 7 steers and heifers included to date ranging from 178 to 239 Kg Dwt overall average 200Kg - all killed just sub 30 months, all grass fed with a sn...

I'm not ruling it out...has anyone else tried it? Are we competing with this? Should we be competing with th...

Ok that will be Scary Dexter then

Congrats are also due to this little lady - Langley End Marigold 2nd seen last summer with we think her 12th or 13th calf and rated EX90 late last year

Used this guy for two years, sold steer calves store at 300+Kg live at a year old off grass - gave them some hard feed the second time around and they went up to 340Kg. Kept his daughters and they are now nursing Whitebred sh...

Bit of a mixture here - one mob of pure dexters is "out" but they have access to an unbedded shed so can make thier own minds up if they want to be out of the weather or not. The other mob are mixed with luing and angus cross cows and are at he moment out - period - they have whins (gorse)...

can you get into it and walk along the length of the ditch to the exit slope without too much difficulty during your proposed grazing period? If you can then sounds ok - if not then your cattle would have a similar struggle - if in doubt then a temporary electric fence might be an option
