[QUOTE="Keren, post: 617054, member: 3195"] On the whole, Dexters that I've seen arent a hugely muscled breed. My choices would be Murray Grey (surprise surprise) but they are probably a little too big for this person, so I would go with a Square Meater (not sure if you have them there). The other thing to consider would be Galloway - not mini Galloway or Belted Galloway because these breeds have sacrificed muscle and doing ability for size. But a good, old-style Galloway is hard to beat for grass fed beef. Of course, possibly the best for this situation would be Highland. They are unique (if the person is looking for something different), in my experience they have been easy doing, well muscled animals good for grass feeding, and they are moderate in size. [/QUOTE]
