Sorry Beryl, I am showing my ignorance here, what age does Defra state you can sell/use your girls? I am shocked. My ram's mother was 12 and was going back in with the tup again. I have a boar who is under 4 and has arthritus who is going to be pts as soon as the school hols are over.

Sylvia, sorry to hear of the sale results, you must feel pretty gutted. When we sold our girls and they hadn't yet been collected people were offering more money so they could have them immediately. Something to do with the bt zones I think. Before they were sold we had some ridiculous and insultin...

Who gives the command that you are qualified enough. I asked you what made you tick and you told me about your work Malcolm, that says it all I think. Keeping Dexters has to be an awful lot about passion and love of the beautiful animal itself, especially in economical hardtimes. This is what makes...

Then we can settle down and really get stuck into the dexters. Am glad as they went to really ...

For heavens sake, what makes you tick Malcom?! I have read your babble and arrogance and quite frankly find you shameful. So many people have worked their nuts off and you have gone and ruined it, why on earth do you keep dexters? All your postings are so negative, perhaps thats all the personality...

I must have been an evil person in my previous life and its catching up with me now. I waited for ever to get cows, my husband was wanted to work abroad, he ended up changing his job, and then the inevitable happens.. He has been asked to work abroad by the new lot. Last time I was lucky enough not...

We did have nice hard ground, now its muddy and horrible. We also had a powercut for 30 hours, no problem as we have a good generator, now we just need a big hairdryer to dry out the land. I have noticed that we seem to be getting through the round hay bales quicker than last year. It looks and sme...

Can you not tie up with anyone from DBO for example who wants meat, would it be possible for you to hire a chiller van and transport your meat directly form your local slaughterhouse/butcher anywhere that wants dexter beef ...
