[QUOTE="~Tomboy~, post: 54918, member: 880"] I am new to this board but have been reading it for awhile, couldn't help but jump in and get my feet wet when the decussion of Dexters came up. I know that there are several breeders on this board already so I just thought I'd add another. Dexters are the smallest breed of cattle in North America and most other countries. We do not call then minatures even though they are smaller than most, they are a natural breed. Our guidelines are bulls should not exceed more than 44 inches tall nor stand less than 38 inches at the shoulder at three years of age. Cows should not exceed 42 inches nor stand less than 36 inches in height at the shoulder. It is true our numbers are no where near that of other breeds but I can tell you that they are growing buy leaps and bounds. They are a dual purpose animal, my neighbor has asked to use my bull on his first time heifers. For the small land holder they are ideal, they eat less and are not has hard on the land. I apoligize for the rambling but I can't say enough good things about Dexters [/QUOTE]
