Welcome to Moosters Meadows - home of the small and hardy Dexter Cattle!
Why we love our Dexters:
They are dual purpose breed, providing both milk and outstanding beef. Smaller in stature than many other breeds, they have a gentle nature and thrive in any climate - just provide them with fresh water, a bit of shelter and forage! They are perfect for the smaller farm - consuming about half what a Hereford or Angus would in similar conditions.
Variety is the spice of life: Dexters come in three colors - red, dun and black. You can have them with horns or polled. It's really hard to choose a favorite. The guidelines adopted by the American Dexter Cattle Association show the suggested ideal animal. Bulls will be between 38 and 44 inches at the shoulder and not more than 1,000 pounds at age three. A three year old cow will be between 36 and 42 inches at the shoulder, and not more than 750 pounds. Calving is almost always easy with an average calf weighing in at about 45 pounds.
All of our cattle are registered through the American Dexter Cattle Association (ADCA).
