Established 1990

Dexters are a naturally small breed of native Irish cattle. They are a true dual purpose cow with wonderful tasting beef

as well as ample milk for their calf or the house. They come in three colours, wholly black, red or dun.

We have a long established and  successful Dexter herd dating back to 1990. We have always taken pride in our

Dexters and their breeding and this has shown in the fortunes of our show cattle. Our Dexters are all bred for specific

qualities, ie conformation, udders and temperament. Any calves not coming up to our expectations are not registered

as pedigree and will be reared for beef. Only first quality stock is registered. This is especially true for bull calves. Not

only would they need to conform to all aspects of our standards but genetically they will only be taken from our best

bloodlines.

 

Although we breed both black and red dexters - we take a special interest in the reds and have spent years

eradicating a lot of the undesirable and often difficult to get rid of problems that a red may have such as dark nose

and shaded face. It is always harder to breed a

nice red and we think we have gone a long way to

achieving it.
