Graham - Great story. Brilliant publicity for Dexter beef.

We've just taken on a new butcher and before I approached him many of his customers had been asking for Dexter beef and he didn't know where to get it locally (we're about 10 miles away), so there is definitely a growing demand for Dexter beef.

Kind regards

Well done Graham, one of the dexter worlds true characters, those that know him know what i mean. Looks like he brushed his hair for the photo.
Comprehensive article but what a shame that there is always a silly line from the journalist, "But most breeders are running a handful or two, and trying to breed them pygmy-style for show purposes".
Good press anyway.

Well Done Graham,really good article and publicity.

I had no idea that Graham had been a World Champion Leek Grower, you really do learn all sorts on 'Dexter Cattle For Sale'

I feel some World Champion Leek Jokes coming on - cannot wait to see Graham at the next show!!

What a lovely article. Graham - congratulations on your success, you certainly deserve it working that hard. Don't know how you find the time to go showing as well, I wish I had your energy. Hope to see you at a show sometime for some tips! :wink:

Graham gets another write up in the summer issue of The Farmers Mart (Issue 23).

Unfortunately the website currently shows the spring issue.

Very good article and a great read.

Does any one keep Dexters around Longridge in Lancs? I was born there and still have family around there.
