ADCA Registered Dexter Cattle

We had been purchasing local grass fed beef from neighbors for several years and decided we would like to raise our own. We also wanted to have a family milk cow so we researched various breeds and decided Dexter cattle would be a perfect match for our needs.

Dexters are a dual purpose breed meaning that they are bred both for meat and milk production. They are also smaller than most cattle so they do not require as much feed and have a much lighter impact on pastures than the heavier breeds. We have been very pleased with our selection and enjoy the rich milk provided by Dixie. We've been amazed how much milk can come out of such a small cow. More than enough for our large family!
