Hello y"all! We need to sell our 7 month old bull calf to buy some hay and aren't sure how to price him. He will be registerable as soon as his mama is ...
How is it that these folks missed the message that yews are toxic? That's why I never allow any yews on my place and why most of us will not accept any "lawn...
CJ, It has been awhile since anyone has brought up poison plants and there are about 350 new people to the list in the last year so I am guessing a lot of...
I sure didn't know it. I'm real sorry to hear of their misfortune. Consider the message valuable, there is now one more informed person. Thank you. ... From:...
OMG....that is horrible! Can anyone give me a list of plants that are toxic to Dexter Cattle. I want to make very sure I don't have any of these in my...
Well said Sharon, This is such a tragedy and it has hit home for some of us in Iowa, as one of the casualties was born here and I owned the other two. B&S...
Hi CJ Most university extension websites have a poisonous plant database. People just need to check their resources. http://plants.usda.gov/ plant database...
The lists I have see are quite long and contain many plants that we here in Missouri have in almost every pasture. Acorns are poisonous but any Ozark farmer...
I have been working on compiling lists for our regions newsletter, however there is much varying information out there. Some plants are outright toxic no...
I probably should not have used the word "message". Certainly the toxic nature of yews is common knowledge to most folks and common sense would dictate that...
That is just it a lot of people don't know what is and is not toxic and I don't think it would kill anyone to share what others do know on the subject. Dan ...

I am in hopes that the people who lost their dear Dexters do not read your comments. Talk about salt in the wound. What may be "common knowledge" for you may...

Do you know if these people lost any of their goats to yew poisoning? There was just an article in the Sheep magazine about yew poisoning in sheep. Often they...
Hi Nicole I don't know about their loss if any in goats, but I agree goats take a taste and move on. I have seen my bottle fed goats take an oleander leaf...
We will see more poisoning due to drought right now than ever before. My vet says a healthy, well fed animal won't eat poison plants but with the state of...
I agree Nina..drought areas have that as an added worry. I believe there are some plants that while not toxic in a normal weather year..turns toxic in a ...
Hi Nina Last years drought just about did my pastures in. Even with all the rain we have had this year, my pastures still have not fully recovered. In order...
Let’s see now. They pulled up some bushes and threw them into the cow pasture. Either (a) they didn’t identify the bushes as yews and/or (b) didn’t...
As I remind my students: "Common sense" doesn't exist. Life is experiential - one must have a past experience to infer into a new situation. If one hasn't been...

We are interested in compiling beef carcass data on Dexters so we can use it in promoting Dexters as a beef breed. We want to get the animals age at slaughter,...

It really surprises me that any one new to Dexters would come on here and relate their problems. Poor cows? Yes, definitely. Poor owners? Yes, definitely. It's...
