Wagra Dexter Cattle

Wagra Dexter Cattle The Finest Dual Purpose Cow The Dexter breed originated in southwestern Ireland and then brought to England in 1882.

The breed virtually disappeared in Ireland, but was still maintained as a pure breed in a number of small herds in England. The Dexter is a small breed with mature cows weighing between 600–700 pounds (270–320 kg) and mature bulls weighing about 1,000 pounds (450 kg). Considering their small size, the body is wide and deep with a well-rounded hindquarters. Although commonly black, a variety of red

s and dun Dexters are also found. All animals are always solid, with the now rare minor white marking on the udder or behind the navel. Horns are rather small and thick and grow outward with a forward curve on the male and upward on the cow. However we most commonly disbud the calves, and there are also polled Dexters. The breed is typically a dual-purpose type, although individual herd owners often concentrate on growing either a beef or a milk animal. General enquiries

The sun looks white in this photo but solid red to the naked eye. That is one heck of a fuel reduction burn.

Not fancy. Not pretty. Just the best kind of photo and comment from a first time beef buyer. His two words were short and to the point. He said, "Top Marks".

Congratulations to our newest beef customers, who coincidentally ordered their first side of Dexter beef this morning. Dexters are native to Ireland. What better way to celebrate St Patrick's Day today?

This is 15mth old Vandel in the yards for the first time since he was weaned. He is learning that it's great fun to have a pet human.

Cattle comfort comes first here. That sounds a bit corny but that's how it is. Fifty four Dexters are out there somewhere but the paddocks appear to be bare. They know the heat is coming so they bury themselves deep into the shady cattle camps, well before the temperature begins to climb. Not a one to be seen at Wagra Dexters today. Such clever little cows.🥰
