Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

Hi Chris, and all... The new board seems fine although I had to reset the password and had the usual problem of coming up with a new one to fulfil the latest advice on password security what with Caps and Nums etc. Just one thing though, is it possible to change the font/ background colour? it was a...

Hi Issy No data on bones I am afraid, some were left in as rib joints. Just for interest this is the breakdown of the meat from the two steers, as it returned from the butcher, although the way that it is cut seems very much to depend on who does the job unless you specify; data in Kg mince 31.000 ...

As for the ringworm, I have spoken to the local vet practice and they feel that their favoured product, Imaverol is no certain solution and requires several doses, so thank you Duncan for your advice, but it looks as ...
