They are sure making good use of that shade. I love your fence--"snake fence" is what we call it here. Do your cattle ever try to push it down?

A voice from long ago. That cow has a lovely, soft eye.

Hoss, a lot of people like to cross Dexters with Jerseys...I guess the cross makes a good family cow that produces a bit more milk than a straight Dexter. $150 per straw? No thanks. Yes, Belle Fourche bulls are probably fully tested and good sires. I don't know how big/small mini jerseys...

Hoss, has the heifer been tested for Chondrodysplasia (I'd guess non-carrier) and PHA? It's good to know her status even if she is AI'd to a non-carrier of either. Who's her sire? I'm sure you realize there are no EPDs for Dexters. I believe all the AI bulls listed here are negative for...

Hey, he's got some attitude (3rd photo). Very cute little bugger. You could call him Floyd! It has been a couple of months since I've seen such nice grass as you have!

What a lovely post! Your photos are great, that little guy is VERY handsome (esp. in that 3rd photo!!!), and I appreciate HOW you do it! Very nice. Thanks for sharing this.

What beautiful, solid animals! Especially like seeing the older photos. Thanks for putting these up!

Pretty calves, the white is SO white! And it looks like you have a nice little mule foal in your avatar!

This rang a bell. Here's an article from Gearld Fry about curly hair and fertility (scroll down a bit): http://www.bovineengineering.com/NL_fertile_bull.html

Very sloppy sheath. Not sure about his shoulder. Wondering if he's slightly sickle hocked, but it appears he didn't move between the photos and the one hind leg is slightly under, so I don't know how square he really stands. Hasn't been pastured with any cows??? Appears to have been...

Awfully pretty! And with their markings and horns, it'll be easy to tell them apart in your pasture. Sound like nice productive cows. hillrancher, were those animals dehorned right before transport or just tipped?

Isomade, if I were you, I'd be glad there's a little distance between Alabama and Oklahoma!

Brafordman, great post, wonderful to see something different from what's in this neck of the woods. Not many Brahmans around here. Good to read about the speckled heifer's leg, glad it could be done! I gather they have great dispositions?

Hey Alacowman, are you in that photo? Great picture!

Interrupting this thread to say that the royal family has a herd of Red Poll, a herd of Highlands, a herd of Jerseys, and one of Ayrshires...probably some other breeds too. The Queen's income has been frozen until 2015, so she might be tapping into some of that beef and milk. Do you think...

Well, Shaz, sorry you're unhappy and bored. I had to wonder about the comment when there was no connection to the thread so I thought I'd carry it on....that donkey is named Muddy and he was 7 months old at the time of the photo. He's now 11 years old and quite a charming fella!

Who you callin' Ted Koppel?

Floyd, I raise Dexters. Those of us with Dexters and Highlands have to face the fact that these are minor breeds that do well for certain people in certain situations. Their historical, heritage value is wonderful and we should strive to promote that. They have their place in the cattle...

Excellent reason to celebrate! Hope she's doing well and congratulations!
