Conformation
Reese has good body structure with uniform/square proportions from front to back. Her hip has good angle with her straight/level back line. He chest is developing to be well balanced in depth and width. Reese’s red color matches her dam’s (Grace). She takes after her mother in a lot of the breed’s characteristics including temperament. Read more on the Dexter Breed guidelines.
Temperament
Reese is the sweetest of all of our 2022 calves. All of our calves are sweet, but she is the least timid in the group. We can walk up to her in the pasture and give her a scratch. She most likely gets her demeanor from her mother, Grace. Reese is also very curious. If you sit down in the pasture she will often come up behind you and give you a sniff. Reese is going to turn out to be a very gentle and attention-loving cow. Reese already looks like a copy of her mother, Grace. Grace is by far the prettiest cow in our herd.

Our Rotational Program
We purchased our Dexters specifically for their size, demeanor, and efficiency on grass. We practice frequent rotational grazing which keeps our herd on clean fresh grass at all times, so we have no need for dewormers or vaccines. In this program, our Dexters helping us improve our pasture soils by intense grazing activity followed by long periods of rest. We do not use any chemicals (fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, etc…) in our pastures whatsoever. Our Dexter herd stomps the weeds down and provides our pasture with some of the best fertilizer you can find.
Our Dexters are 100% pasture grass fed. In the winter months we supplement with organic alfalfa pellets as needed. Our Dexters have remained very healthy and strong as part of this program.
Demeanor of our herd
All of our Dexters are very sweet and gentle, they love to be scratched, and will eat out of your hand. We have even tried to milk our cows a little without a halter and they stood still for us without a fuss. We spend time with our herd and work with new timid ones to help build their trust so all of our Dexters are docile, approachable, and love attention.
