Our Dexters might be black, red or dun and carry polled genetics. They are efficient, friendly and hardy.
bulls
Sires representative of the renowned Dexter, one of the last tri-purpose cattle breeds in the world.
Dexter beef is known for its exceptional tenderness and rich flavor due to its smaller size, even muscle fibers, and excellent marbling. It is juicy rather than greasy, thanks to its high pH levels which help it retain moisture when cooked. And it is nutrient-dense, containing high levels of beneficial fatty acids like omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9, as well as conjugated linoleic acid.
Dexter milk has a rich, creamy texture with a butterfat content about 4% or higher, excellent for making butter and cheese. Smaller fat globules contribute both to smoothness and digestibility; we also breed for A2 milk.
cows
The huggable heart of our herd: meet our queen and her three daughters. They share a mild and happy temperament, which has made it easy to train, trailer and share them with visitors. They coexist with horses, dogs and chickens and have risen to the occasion for any management request.
