Over the Moon Farm

Over the Moon Farm Over the Moon - a small, family run Dexter cattle breeding farm Over the Moon farm has been breeding Dexter cattle since 2004. The breed was brought to the U.S.

Dexter cattle are the smallest breed of cattle; not miniatures. between 1905 - 1915 from southern Ireland. They are a triple purpose breed - beef, milk and oxen. Because of their wonderful, friendly personalities and compact size, they make the perfect addition to small hobby farms. They are the perfect size for children who are interested in livestock. Many state and local fairs now have open Dex

ter cattle classes. Over the Moon's Dexters are registered with the Purebred Dexter Cattle Assn., as well as the American Dexter Cattle Assn. According to the guidelines, the ideal three year old Dexter bull measures 38 to 44 inches at the shoulder and weighs less than 1000 pounds. The ideal three year old Dexter cow measures between 36 to 42 inches at the shoulder, and weighs less than 750 pounds. Dexters come in Black, Red or Dun. Dexters are horned or polled, with some people preferring to dehorn them. A milking cow can produce more milk for its weight than any other breed. The daily yield averages 1 to 3 gallons per day with a butterfat content of 4 to 5 percent. Dexters are known for their ease of calving. Calves weigh about 45 pounds at birth, and by seven months when they are weaned, weigh between 350 and 500
pounds. Both sexes will continue to grow until five or six years of age. Over the Moon Farm welcomes visitors, by appointment. We'll be happy to introduce you to our herd and answer any of your questions.
