Dexter Cattle For Sale Discussion Board

I NEED 1930 herd books to work toward providing complete pedigrees for the website. IF you have 1930 herdbooks and would like to sell them. . . . please contact me. If you would be willing to permit me to pay to have them copied or scanned in PDF format and emailed to me. . .that is also an option.

Can you help me find these volumes?

I have been researching Dexters for a number of years. I have historical sections where I have early photos added as well as documents on several sites including Facebook. On the Legacy registry website the ancestor files are now searchable. . . . and many UK pedigrees are extended to the 1930's and in some cases beyond. These are available to ANY owner or researcher at no charge and additional lines are being added as time permits or to help complete pedigrees for Dexter owners worldwide who wish to add their DNA tested Dexters to the online pedigree site. There is a very small fee of $5.00 US to register your DNA tested animal, ( and if you want to do DNA testing the cost is $25 US . . . . . testing is through the world renowned Veterinary Genetics Laboratory of the Univeristy of California, ( used by owners worldwide with all Dexter tests available at this one location). It is a simple matter of pulling your tail hairs, completing a simple import form and mailing to the lab. Results are available in 3-6 days depending on the test requested, and sent by email to the owner.

pedigree records can be searched at: LegacyDexterCattleRegistry.com

Someone has made contact with me and so i have sent you a private message.

Thanks Mark. I am always grateful for the smallest bit of help from all!

I thought some of you might be interested in my current research. A number of years ago I researched the dun animals in America, traced the earliest animals to 1950 imports and to the Grinstead herd through the bull Grinstead Ambassador. Grinstead Ambassador and Grinstead Plover do not share a common ancestor in the Grinstead herd. Very recently I went back to the US research and brought it to England and with information from an English owner on this board discovered that Elmwood Morna is a dun cow, progeny of Elmwood Mackoy who would be a carrier of the dun color, and traced that line back to a third Grinstead line carrying dun without a common ancestor. I am now working on a 4th animal that may bring in a fourth Grinstead animal. One of the UK animals that had to be carrying dun would then be Sparr Nero. or Elysian Conqueror's Amber 2nd. The research so far does not show either to be the source. . . . . as there are other trails to follow. . .. .*I* think it will eventually trace to foundation animals but that is just pure speculation at the moment.

I am currently tracing the bloodlines of cows that were registered as red in the early herdbooks. I suspect there were animals registered as red that may have actually been dun. Many of the early duns in the US were registered as red. Just this very day I discovered the early bull Ickwell Conqueror sired a red calf. . . . . so I am off looking at those lines! This bull was a grandsire of Grinstead Ambassador - US source of dun. Veerrrry interesting!
My most enjoyable hobby is Dexter research!
