[QUOTE="GreyDex, post: 630700, member: 9657"] Well for a small acreage and for a dual purpose type cattle I would easily choose a Dexter over an Angus. A Dexter cow with calf will easily be able to provide enough milk for a good sized family with milk left over for the calf, plus they provide a good side of beef and can be good pullers. It is really a triple purpose breed. The average amount of milk gathered per day from a cow is 2 gallons of milk and three quarters of cream. They are normally good natured and long lived. They do well on pasture as they were developed in Southwestern Ireland. [/QUOTE]
