Beldex
Dexway
Little Beltaway
Delter
We have used a Dexter bull on Belties and had similier results.
Went to see a chap who put limo on second calvers and now uses a Canadian Angus on them for last two years - saw one calf (very nice) other two incalf, fairly plain not massive non-short cows but says they calve on their own. He is a commercial guy who just bought them cheap and runs them with lims, blues and others -guess whos boss?. They are for sale- they have no papers but are pure asking 495 but said take 800 for the 2 2006 cows with out calf if anybodies interested? Look on preloved
Have you both finished your silage/haymaking?

Re: Cross bred Dexters
Just done 40 acres round bale hay today. Got some ryegrass/red clover silage as well from a month ago. Lovely weather, will hopefully be doing a 2nd cut on the RC soon. Glad to have aftermath now as running low on grazing. Could do with some rain now.
I think Beldex is best one so far.

Re: Cross bred Dexters
I asked on a forum what to call my Stabiliser X Dexters recently. Best answer was Destabilisers

Re: Cross bred Dexters
Would anyboby be interested in a young Limousin bull out of a dexter cow at weaning? Black born May this year
Just bought with his mother plus another cow with charalais heifer calf will try to get some pics
He will be castrated shortly if he stays with me but thought would see if any interest as a bull his father was supposed to be small for a limi and they both calved with out any help

Re: Cross bred Dexters
I could be Monica as I just sold my bull today. Can I come and have a look? We're not far from you. PM me if OK. I will know whether I've sold by early next week.
