While looking for Dexter's in my area, I came across this site:

I hope that helps!

Read this on WildRoseBeef's page.

That is probably one of the most REALISTIC evaluations of a Dexter I have seen in some time.

This is great! It listed a breeder in Morrisville which is a hop, skip and jump away from where I live! Thank you!

Under the link it had breeders in TX. Not sure where these are located in reference to you, but worth a look. http://www.cattlepages.com/Breeders/Dexter/Texas/Texas-Dexter-breeders.aspx

So wait.... I thought Dexters were supposed to have easy calving and be exceptional mothers? From WildRoseBeef's page it looks like they aren't that good for calving or mothering? We're researching for our future farmette and the very first breed that was suggested was Dexter.
I'm a little confused now!

I called the lady in Morrisville...we talked about an hour...she sold her Dexters for health/financial reasons, but raved about them. The only thing she told me that I had not read or heard before, was that Dexter's tend to have hair near their teets, so that it gets in the milk. It doesn't stop me from looking for our Dexter housecow though!
