Dexter Breed Profile |
|
History of Dexter Cattle: These naturally small cattle originated in southern Ireland in the 1800s, grazing in rough country adjacent to small farms.
Conformation: Dexters come in three solid colors: black (predominant), dun and red, according to the American Dexter Cattle Association. There are two body types, defined as long- and short-legged. The “long-leg” is a small regular-cow proportional animal; the “short-leg” is a slightly smaller, heavier-set version.
Special Consideration/Notes on Dexter Cattle: Dexters make wonderful farm companions. Not only is the breed efficient, but size and temperament make Dexters nice to have around. Dexters are known for their ease of calving. Calves weigh about 45 pounds at birth, and by seven months when they are weaned, weigh between 350 and 500 pounds. Both sexes will continue to grow until five or six years of age. The “long-leg” type live to over 20 years and continue to calve up to 16 to 18 years, on average.
