Hi Group - My name is Gloria Snyder. I've been lurking on this group pretty much from its beginnings. My husband and I bought our first Dexters in 2001. We...
When I hear my back last year, and had some other serious medical problmes, I listed my Dexter/Jersey heifer and dexter bull for sale (I can't remember which...
Hi Bill, So Sorry that you have lost your Dad, and your health problems. Just wondering if there is any way your mum could come and live with you, instead of...
Remember the steer I could not load? Well, I could not feed him ON a trailer to catch him as I have no trailer (to me the best solution). So...I offered half...
Glad you are rid of him. I wonder how the meat will be. Let us know what you think. My neighborhood has some pretty wild tales about a Charlois bull that...
Last night, actually about 1:00 AM this morning, there was an animal with red eyes just outside the fence in front of my house. My son saw them in the...
I expect the meat to be awful with all this stress so we are having all of our portion ground or cut into cube steaks. We were going to shoot him and drag him...
Hi Margaret, We do all our animals with home kill, even though my husband is a freezing worker. I had seen the cattle works, and it is the most terrible place....
... It is illegal in the US now for a butcher to process a home kill. Luckily our small processors are nothing as you described. We unload into a pen where...
I've done it both ways but am quite happy with the way things are run at a small slaughter house in Payson, Utah. I have to trailer the cattle about 45 miles...
I do have ranch kill here. They come out do the kill and field dress and haul it too the processor. I pick up my cut and wrapped meat 2-3 weeks later.I pay...
I know that dogs with blue eyes will glow red rather than the more usual green at night. One of our dogs has blue eyes (husky x) and the first time I saw his...
We find ourselves with too many cattle on too few acres. So we have a few cows/heifers for sale. Most are dun, horned and long-legged. One cow is currently...
Could be a coy-dog, but I haven't seen any here in the area. Nasty creatures they are. I saw a lot of them when I was an ACO down in the desert. Glowing red...
... LOL! I was thinking Sasquatch, but sure wasn't gonna say that out loud! ... I think there's a new Kim on this list that answered your post about the red...
I am please to inform you that the American Dexter Cattle Association's Annual Show and Sale is shaping up to be the biggest one ever. To date we have 92 head...
I have had several friends that swore that Bigfoot does exist here so I don't totally discount them. That surprises me because I am such a cynic, lol. I was...
The latest ALBC news arrived today. I found the article "Some Special Genetic Characteristics of Domesticated Breeds" by Willard W. Olson very interesting to...
Cleopatra caught my eye. :-) Good article because it covered the common myth that in-breeding creates genetic freaks when in reality it only produces what ...
I was thinking mountain lion but I hadn't considered Bigfoot. Richard ~ ... with red eyes just outside the fence in front of my house. My son saw them in the...
Damned stupid people and their roaming dogs!!!! I would rather deal with mountain lions! I just got the little local weekly paper. Less than a mile from me 2...
It is a commonly known fact here that the dogs do more damage to livestock than coyotes. Two farms down my friend had a calf attacked the other night by dogs...
Stray dogs caused my miniature horse to break out one night. Found her the next morning hanging out by the neighbor's warmbloods and she was okay. Probably...
I totally agree. One night a few months ago I took my Chihuahua out for a run. It was about 3 AM and there under the street lights were two collie or sheep...
Glad to know I am not the only one that reacts violently :-)) I just always assume that people that live in the West, on a ranch or farm, are armed in order...
What a great morning! The Post Office called to say I had chicks waiting and we looked out and THOUGHT we saw a calf with our bull. By the time I got back from...
... Congrats on the heifer (and your new chicks)! I was wondering whether bulls were safe around newborn calves or not. Is it unusual for them to be maternal,...
