Title: Dexter wanted Midlands
Post by: Sbom on August 11, 2017, 05:25:08 pm

Looking for a Dexter heifer, or cow in the Midlands area.
 Either bulling age, in calf or with calf at foot.
Lost our old cow last year and never got round to replacing her.
Will have other cattle for company.
Needs to be quiet to handle/move around ..no nutbags!

Would consider other beefy breeds but needs to be happy living out all year and not huge as don't want fields over poaching.

Keep an eye out for the online sale catalogues at Hereford and Worcester markets.  I've seen some very nice Dexters go through the ring at Hereford.  If some of the herd has been shown at, say, the Royal Three Counties, the stock is likely to have been well handled.
