ParticipantAre they black and long-legged stock? I love my big old-style dexter oxen but they are twelve and won’t last forever. Now most of the dexters seem so puny and not well-temperamented. I am looking for a good herd for future calves…
August 22, 2011 at 9:48 pm #68677ParticipantThey are long-legged, black. Our Dexters are smart and good-natured. They are not as docile as some breeds certainly but I like them quite a lot. Most of my herd comes from older-type Dexters because I breed artificially. I have two older cows I would sell. Maggie and Connie– they are long-legged and have done quite well for us. They are nine and ten years old– I expect them to have several years of productivity left. I believe they are both bred to Ace of Clove Brook for next spring. Although their milk production has slowed ( our main business is dairy), they would be a good way to start/add to a herd of Dexters. Connie has had seven heifer calves in a row. They have horns and are tame– I’ve milked them both for the last seven years. $1200 each
