Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

Hi,

Steve Collins and myself have got together to develop and brand beef as Dingle Dexter Beef.We have purchased a bespoke Burger Bar which featured on national TV last evening in "Ear To the Ground" Ireland's answer to Countryfile(but better!)

I attach a link to the programme which I hope works.It has generated huge interest in the media

Brilliant Paddy, very impressive! Dingle is one of my favourite places when I go on my holidays to Ireland, so this year I shall look out for those Dexters on the hills!

There's only one thing better than a Dexter burger, and that's a bigger Dexter burger . Brilliant Paddy, absolutely brilliant. Love Dingle, used to go there on holidays years ago to watch the Irish Rally.

cant resist this but THE VAN bimbos burgers ???? great film . good luck guys

Great Movie and the comment has been passed a few times.
Thanks for the good wishes and i keep you updated on our outings.

very well done on the TV programme. A great bit of advertising. Is their a group around Cork kerry that i could talk to . Have horses but want to put a few cattle with them, Dexters seem ideal, had Limousine heifers - murder almost literally.
Well done again

Charlie,
I realise you phoned a couple of times and did not leave a number so if you give a shout back I might be able to help you out .

Thanks

Paddy

They appear to have an unusual way of growing feed for the dexters.

We looked into growing grass indoors quite seriously, but found lots of issues/problems. Came to the conclusion that it only makes sense in hot climates. If fed inside, I think cows would be extremely runny and make a hell of a mess. But very interesting nevertheless, and still keeping an eye on it for any progress / simplification of the process.

Our foot trimmer is an ex agricultural college lecturer, now a dairy consultant.

He has visited dairy farms in the middle east where cows are indoors and though grass is grown outdoors its all irrigated.

Quite a few cattle people, and horse folk too, have these feed units - and they are great - no wastage - you can use different grains to sprout.
Works well for the people that I know have them.
A lot of the racehorse trainers have them - saves giving horses grass pick, and they do relish the mats.
