I have one heifer calf this year that will not be registered. She is a very nice looking animal, but she is insane. You can't get within a hundred feet of her....
... I was thinking the same thing, and when I here owners talk of not using chemical fertilizer only organic and in the same sentance say they buy good quality...
Good for you. Before I bought my Dexters, I looked at Angus and learned that more than a few have real attitude problems and a mean temperament. This...
... Every one for their own, but about this very nice heifer that you don't like, how much for her??? and what is her ancestery??? Knotting I would guess... ...
Bill, Like you I tend to be forgiving and tend to work with an animal to discover what it is that triggers the undesired behavior but I remember one nice...
Korey, just want to say a big thank you to you, the board is great, and when everyone gets used to it I think we will have some great discussions. Carol...
I hear people say this about Angus all the time and I kind of chuckle about it because we have a lot of Angus here and they are typically more annoying as far...
My last post on this subject. Let me put this as simply as I can. I am not about to get into a discussion of organic or not. We can all make our own...
Please understand that I have nothing against using manure as a fertilizer. When we moved in this place I wanted a garden. All there was was pure sand in the...
I appreciate everyones' input on this. It's good to hear different points of view of what works. Margaret, I intend to do rotational grazing once I get the new...
I totally agree with your point about the number of bulls creating more genetic diversity. And, fortunately, at this point, A.I. has expanded the gene pool by...
... The use of AI can do as much harm as good. By being able to access a bull half way across the country, makes him available to many more people, so you can...
My opinion is that we have to watch out with show standards. What happened when the show ring decided the cow's hook should be level with the pin? They cows...
Gnnanci, thanks so much for taking the time to write that. Those are the types of things that new breeders, like myself, need to hear. It is almost impossible...
OK, I've signed up for the new forum, everthing went fine...EXCEPT getting my e-mail with the password. That was yesterday...how long do I wait? or should I...
Splayed toes is what I mean, although I think other people have mentioned other problems. I've had a couple of strange ones, too. I bought a heifer that had no...
... getting my e-mail with the password. That was yesterday...how long do I wait? or should I do it over? HELP! CU - Marjie Marjie, you are listed in the...
where i live there are lots of turkey and chicken houses nearby. for years it was the fertilizer of choice around here. (not so much anymore, i will explain...
How was the new farm looking? You did take really bad weather with you, LOL. Congrats on the Superbowl win (you actually couldn't lose there could you!!). Let...
Korey now has the Album/Pictures section up and running on the new board. So if you haven't joined yet now is the time to do so. At least we now have somewhere...
The longest distance I've traveled to pick up cows is 1,300 miles, so I guess I'm not much of a self-hauler, among Dexter breeders anyway! I've always admired...
Carol, You are right, the weather was bad (but not as bad as it was up here in CT) and the superbowl was a Win-Win situation for us.., our hometeam both won...
It's hard to put down OR recommend haulers! The goat guy has moved 7 other Dexters I know of very well...no complaints at all! The other person has totally...
Sandy, I agree. I know someone you have used in the past has absolutely NOT worked well for us on a cross country transport.., but hey, some personalities ...
Bill, Yes, the bad girl is a Lucifer grand daughter, out of Finerty. Therefore I am being extra careful about disposition. My grassfed beef sales are through...
We have moved our Dexters almost 1000 miles with no problems. We tow with an F350 diesel and a four horse slant trailer. In the summer we travel at night....
... And on the issue of bad disposition I don't want to give the impression that Lucifer is a bad bloodline either. He has produced a lot of very nice...
