If you have to stop an attacker of any species, do it right or don't do it at all. A slight injury will just increase their rage and their adrenaline. Pepper...
Hi Judy, Some cow names like Shome, Trillium, and Woodmajic. I have contacted the British about some names as well. The American pedigrees stop so I was...
53 acres is way more than we were looking for as a retirement place. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't give it up for anything we looked at or any place we have...
Cody, I'm glad to hear that the PDCA was of some help to you. It sounds like you're on the right track as the oldest Dexter registry in America would be the...
Hello All, Someone asked where I live and I live in Sherman Texas just South of OK border, off Hwy 75. Does the list on dog bites say what % of a breed is...

I am a big believer in genetics. The little Dexter makes such a good house/homestead cow because that is what the breed was intended for. I have never bred...
