ADCA Registered Dexter Cattle
We had been purchasing local grass fed beef from neighbors for several years and decided we would like to raise our own. We also wanted to have a family milk cow so we researched various breeds and decided Dexter cattle would be a perfect match for our needs.
Dexters are a dual purpose breed meaning that they are bred both for meat and milk production. They are also smaller than most cattle so they do not require as much feed and have a much lighter impact on pastures than the heavier breeds. We have been very pleased with our selection and enjoy the rich milk provided by Dixie. We've been amazed how much milk can come out of such a small cow. More than enough for our large family!
Cows, bulls, calves or cow/calf pairs now available this spring.
Currently, we have serval cows expecting. We'll sell any heifer calves once weaned and bulls as well or raise them for our freezer. If you want a heifer custom raised and halter trained in order to be an excellent milk cow let us know and we'll be happy to accomodate that. Below is some reference info and pics from the past.

ADCA Reg. No: 10668
Jordan was our first bull and is now working on a farm in Eastern Washington.
Toro was the next bull on our farm. We've had him about 5 years and unfortunately it came time to change him out. He was very mild mannered and an easy keeper.

Our current bull is a nice polled red bull from Cascade Meadows. We are excited to introduce some red into our herd.

We usually sell our heifer calves each year. We will also sell a bull if we have a deposit down within the first week of birth. Normally, we band the bulls and raise them for meat. Please contact us regarding reserving one of our calves. They are all family raised with lots of contact and can be custom raised to meet your needs.
