why choose dexters?
Breed History
"The White Dexter breed is a full upgrade of the original Dexter breed. The upgrade began in 1999 when a registered White Park bull was bred to ten registered black Dexter cows. From that date forward, the offspring of each year were then bred back to only registered, purebred Dexters. By always breeding back to registered Dexters, with selection based on color and traits that would further the quality of the breed, the result is an upgrade that is both visually appealing and verifiably Dexter."

Size Matters
Requiring half the acreage of traditional cattle, dexters are perfect for small homesteads or those with minimal space. Dexter cattle typically range from 36 to 48 inches tall and average 500-1,000 lbs which makes them much less intimidating than their larger relatives. Their calm nature and ease to work with make them perfect for families with small children. Bulls are known for having excellent temperaments as well. All of these characteristics combined, along with their gorgeous color, make them a perfect addition to any new or existing herds.
