The Dexters



All summer long I have been researching what cattle to get.  I do want it to be a little more scientific than Darling Husband reading (they wag their tails when pet).  We decided on Dexter Cattle.  They are small and finish well on grass.  Every website I have read on them talks about how easy going they are.  Darling Husband and I took a trip to pick up the new cattle.  After 10 hours driving, a night in one of the smallest hotel rooms ever on the hardest bed I have ever slept on including Girl Scout Camp, the best taco ever we met our new cattle.

Load them into the trailer we borrowed and start the long drive home at noon.  We have them all 5 Dexter in a 4 horse trailer and easily could have fit 5 more.  Every time we stopped for gas people would ask us what was in the trailer.  Going slowly through  town kids would stick their heads out the window and moo back at the cows.  We made it home without any problems and put the new cows in with Onyx.  Onyx was in heaven!
