[QUOTE="susie, post: 84361, member: 1553"] Welcome to the board! I'm pretty new here too. I also was considering a Dexter-- but the prices seemed too steep to me also. But around here a Dexter would be around 500-650 maybe for a heifer. Considering I bought my big Holstein/Hereford cross for 650, I thought that was a little steep,. Of course it may end up being false savings if she eats me out of house and home growing me a calf!! Anyway, a guy I work with has a heifer he's planning on selling in a couple of months. He has registered animals, but seems sincere when he says he's not in it for the money. Real nice guy, if you were interested in travelling to Western Washington I could get his info to you. We've gone to Kalispell to pick up a couple of show chickens for my daughter-- doesn't seem unreasonable to me :) Plus I love a good road trip! I read on other boards that they produce a really good milk, plus in a manageable quantity like you mentioned. The fact that they are more of a dual-purpose cow is a plus too. Try going to the Homesteading Today board, there are lots of Dexter people there. Good luck, Susie [/QUOTE]
