Dexter Cattle: A Breed Apart
Dexter cattle are a small, dual-purpose breed known for their hardiness, efficiency, and gentle nature. Historically prized for both milk and meat, Dexters are also gaining popularity as family milk cows and small-scale farming operations. Their smaller size makes them easier to handle and manage than larger breeds, while their efficient feed conversion makes them an economical choice.
Key MooShine Dexter Traits:
At MooShine Ridge, these inherent qualities are carefully cultivated. The herd is managed with a commitment to humane handling and holistic animal care, resulting in cattle that are not only productive but also a joy to work with. Our cattle are well-socialized and accustomed to human interaction, making them ideal for families and individuals new to cattle ownership.
