Dexters For Sale
Bulls we have used for this coming calving season: Belle Fourche Guido, Mrald Absolutely Perfect, Belle Fourche Cadence, Belle Fourche Bully
All animals are free of chondrodysplasia and PHA. We will gladly provide any known genotype for any trait, just let us know. Our bloodlines are mostly homozygous A2 but with the lack of scientific support for A2 having health benefits, we feel it would be misrepresentation to advertise animals as A2 or to price them differently. There are pros and cons to A2 milk, it is slightly more digestible for drinking a glass of milk, (if you do not suffer from lactose intolerance, as it is the same in that regard). It is not as good for making cheese, and will produce a lower yield. Here is a review of current literature on A2 milk. http://www.nature.com/ejcn/journal/v59/n5/full/1602104a.html
We strive to offer animals in the top 5% of the breed.Cows

Dam: Belle Fourche Daphne

Denise is a long-bodied heifer with a level topline, nice tail set, good hoof angle, nice hook-to-pin length/angle, and a long hip. She has excellent milk yield on both sides. Her sire, Absolutely Perfect, has been exported to both Canada and Australia and breeders have reported improved heel depth and also noticed very friendly dispositions. She has a splash of Redberry Prince on her dam's side and this seems to be the right amount to get the extra muscling and long hip, while not losing the feet, size, and "classic Dexter type" of the Belle Fourche herd. Denise is homozygous polled. Check out Denise's dam's udder!.

Follow Pink, a young Dexter cow, as she and her barnyard friends solve the mystery of the stable room monster.
This book was written by our young neighbor. It is a delightful story and features Dexter Cattle, as well as Jacob and Shetland Sheep, Colored Angora Goats, and Icelandic Horses.
Susanne Barnett is a 12 year old girl who loves working with farm animals. She also enjoys writing children's stories. She brought these two hobbies together through "Pink and the Mystery of the Stable Room Monster". Susanne hopes children will not only enjoy the story but will also develop a love for some of the rare breeds of animals that live on American farms.
