Neighbor is buying some mini herfs. Early weaners at 2 months old. For the bargain basement price of 250 each.
What am I missing here ?

:clap: :nod: :lol2: :lol2: Watched a Mini Hereford in a grooming chute at the NAILE a couple years ago. Great entertainment! He had that thing bouncing up and down and getting it up off the floor. Four BIG men trying to get him in control. He was pizzed and wasn't afraid to show it!Nesikep":3c3q0x2c said:Around here the Dexter's are all the rage with the small families wanting a dual purpose beef/dairy animal that EASY TO HANDLE.
From what I see of them, they don't have a single one of those qualities... They don't give much milk (It's OK for their size, but it's still not much), a 8 month old bull calf weighs in at a whopping 400 lbs and has the foulest temper of any animal (small man syndrome), and the cows I've seen were totally flighty and ugly to deal with.
I'll take my docile Frame 9 Shorthorn who weighs in at about 1900 lbs any day over those beasts.
About the Dexter bull calf in question, I was in my friends milking parlour and hand my hand out the dutch doors, and this little guy was stomping and snorting, then he'd come up to me, butt the door a couple times, then lick my hand, then butt it again... What a confused soul he was... And he's just freak if I twitched. I guess I just haven't had any good experiences with Mini breeds.
if i put something in my backyard that cost 20.000 it better hold water, and have a diving boardslick4591":3pvmai4r said:I remember looking at them on the computer years ago. One reason this stands out is someone had a female priced at $20,000. They were calling them the "Backyard Breed" because they were suited for a small family raising a limited amount of beef.

Only reason I have a pool is because I wanted a bigger boat. Wife said if I get another boat she gets a pool.circlew":1w8voivp said:ALACOWMAN":1w8voivp said:if i put something in my backyard that cost 20.000 it better hold water, and have a diving board
