The Dexter cattle are the smallest of the European cattle breeds at just 36 – 44 inches across at the shoulders. Originating in Ireland, their small size and friendly personality makes them a great addition to a small homestead or family with children. They are also known for their versatility, since they can be used for both rich milk and lean beef.

Dexter cattle will produce between 1 – 2 gallons of milk per day, with high butterfat content (4%). This is much more manageable for a small family than the larger quantities produced from other cattle breeds. If raised for beef, Dexters will produce a tender, lean meat. If grain fed, they will produce approximately 250 pounds at 12 months and up to 500 pounds at 24 months.

We always strongly encourage you to thoroughly check out each animal breeder you are interested in purchasing from before you make your final decision. With over 25,000 different breeders listed on this website, it is impossible for us to be able to vouch for every one! And while we do our best to ensure only the top farmers are listed here, it's always best to double check yourself.
