[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 687048, member: 8265"] How much is "plenty of land"? I understand no room for standard breeds if only a couple acres, but more than that could support them. You only need 2 of them to have a herd. What is your purpose in raising them? If beef is the goal, and you must have small cattle, you might consider lowline angus which are meatier and no messing with horns. Dexters are advertised as dual-purpose (milk and meat), but I understand most of them don't give much milk, and then don't have the most meat. More of a pet or novelty item, that gives you some return. Which is fine if that's what the market is. [/QUOTE]
