Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

Just to update. All 13 extra steers sold. Will have more spare in next six months

I think I’ve placed an ad on here but am a complete technophobe so thought I would post here as well. I have various good quality Dexter’s for sale. Short and non short. Both sexes. Some spare steers from 10 months to 2 years. TB tested til 21 at November. I suppose I should set up one of those Face...

Mark, thanks for your comments re my older cow that was assessed, I had taken your comments on board when you posted similar after I'd had my assessment in September. I was just replying to comments on here that were saying it was being used as a competition. Maybe by some but not by myself which is...

As a newbie to Dexter ownership and only knowing 'what I like' I had all eligible females in my herd assessed. I accepted all the scores whether they may be construed as detrimental or not and allowed them to be published. I personally didn't see it as a competition but something that I could hopefu...

That is really good to hear, and Mark is quite right about the value in having the scores for lesser ones that the elite EX's. It is very good to see the breakdown of how it is made up. Duncan, I had every cow done in my herd that was eligible even though I knew some wouldn't score highly. The scor...

Well Done all - superb. Congratulations Candy King a wonderful achievement. Best Wishes Lisa Bell The congratulations must go to you Lisa as it is your wonderful breeding that has attained this score. I'm just very lucky to call her my own. Also congratulations must also go to Graham Hunt as he not...

Mark, We need to be able to vent our frustrations somewhere. How many times are we told the AGM is not the place yet this is probably the only time we have the opportunity to express our views so that a wider public will hear us. If you closed down the site we would have nowhere. The bulletin is edi...

Candy, sorry for any confusion, I understand you say revert back to the one month rule. What I was asking was where have you read there WAS a one month rule. Peter Gardner. Well I an new to this and I do get confused but I thought the rules last year were one month? Mayb that was just for shows? Ei...

Candy you say "revert back to the one month rule" where have you read this? I cant see how they can change the rules, they were only altered in Nov 2015 and the showing season is under way and a show have been attended under present rules. Pretty certain the reason the trophies weren't ha...

Like yourself, I too believe the point system should be scrapped, they cause dissent, have been open to abuse, and now, as of last year trophies are not awarded due to I believe insurance purposes. Peter Gardner. Perhaps this year they will revert back to handing out the trophies. Perhaps they will...

Just a thought but with all this talk about an ineligable (by Dcs rules) animal getting champion and stopping an eligable reserve champion getting their hard earned points. Does it work the other way in that if an ineligable person gets placed well down the line and an eligable person gets champion,...

As Ann quite rightly states ,the shows need entries. Most decent folk don't mind opposition. It's a mystery to me why you would wish to win with only 2 in the class. irrespective of who bred or bought it, A good animal is something to ASPIRE to. For those people who insist on finding nasty ways to ...

All the best Candy, it will be nice to see you on the show circuit and the cattle you have deserve it. On another note, I just thought about entering Rutland Show, the rules state you have to be the bona fida owner of the cattle for 60 days prior to the show, the wifes cow will have to stay at home...

Well what an emotional day. To see the dispersal of a herd that had been carefully and selectively bred over more than 20 years was an awful thing to witness, especially as it shouldn't have happened. The herd had won numerous championships over many years under many different judges and the length ...

This is the trouble with showing Candy one gets very wrapped up in the moment. Not always a 'fun day out'?[/quote]

You don't have to tell me that one - I know.
