I own 2 Dexters (a 5 month old bull and a heifer 15 months old)and I love them. They are gentle and have a great disposition. They originated from County Kerry, Ireland, the County where my Grandpa was born and I was named after the County so I knew, when I found these cows, that eventually I would have to get one, two.... I really am enjoying them. (just thought I would pipe in on the topic)
