[QUOTE="flyingcircleg, post: 1184179, member: 21739"] Little bit of background. Have been helping some family friends/ranchers for years with their angus x, so have a fair knowledge of cattle. Personally have had couple hundred sheep and goats over the years. Have 5 acres and recently worked out 2 leases (10 acres across the street) and 60 acres a few miles down the road. Looking at getting a small herd of dexters to start off with. Good breed, or should I look towards something else? Climate wise we are pretty mild, summers are in the 90's with the occasional days that hit low 100's (prolly only 5-10 days a year), winters are normally in the 30-40s day time temps, with night time rarely hitting the 20's and i think hit the teens and isngle digits once in the past 5 years. Get snow give or take 4 times a year, but normally only hangs around for a few days till it all melts... Want to raise them to put beef in my freezer and then sell some at auction and/or local people... [/QUOTE]
