[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 30436"] I just purchased a Dexter bull about 4 months ago. I found the person selling him on the Dexter bulletin board. My bull was used as a 4-H project last year. He is so calm and gental to be around that I had to go out and purchase a Dexter cow. The cow that I have has been used part-time as a milk cow. From what I have gathered several Dexter owners milk them when they have a calf on them. They hold the calf off at night, milk in the am and turn the calf out with the cow for the day. My cow is about 45 inches tall, I have not weighted her yet but would guess her to be about 750lb. My bull that is a yearling weights about 500lb he is only 40 inches tall at this time. What they say about not being picky eaters seems to be true with mine. They also eat less. I was haying my bull when I first got him and he was being feed 2 flakes of grass has a day. He was picking up weight on that. I would say the flakes weight about 4-5lbs. [/QUOTE]
