Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

Sorry to be a heretic on this, but a slightly bigger Dexter would be a winner for us. I don't know what systems others have their land under but we are dictated to by the stewardship scheme which states what head of cattle we can graze on each of our marshes and makes no allowance for their size! S...

Our current Dexters that have been slaughtered are coming in about 200kg dead weight and we would like to increase that without losing the quality of the meat. What would your advice be?

Can anyone help?

I have been speaking to a farm shop about supplying them with Dexter beef, and they are now getting interested. What price should I be asking as a percentage of retail prices? Who else has tried this and how did they get on? Any tips please!

I think you will find that you don't need the test if not part of a business. So hobby farmers get an advantage. Maybe worth buying stock in your own name and selling them to your business when you get them home!

Someone in the States is breeding miniature whatsits and probably selling to the pet market. I say, a runt is a runt and I don't care how cute it is. Speaking of pets and depressed Dexter markets, it really annoys me that people here can sell puppies, even cross-breds, for as much or more than I ca...

is somewhat confused with Welsh Beef which covers all beef grown in Wales If only it was as simple as that!! I think you will find Welsh Beef is processed in Wales, not necessarily grown in Wales. My wife used to work for a large farming estate in the English midlands that sold animals to a buyer w...

Do twin heifers in cattle mean that neither will be fertile or am I mixing this up with something else?
