Came across your site back in March and watching helped us decide to get Dexter's. Love the channel. Your detailed presentations are the best and so informative. Thanks Pete!

You're welcome Bob!

I am happy that the emotional rewards of farming outweigh the difficulties.

A video describing how your previous career prepared you for being a small farmer would be interesting. I.E. speaking to large groups, representing your company, time management, records keeping, etc.

You have been extremely helpful. We have just purchased our first three girls who will be calving the end of summer. They are registered Dexters and very well mannered. Thanks so much for the information.

Definitely learning a lot watching these videos. Thanks for all the info you're making me want to get dusk dexters more and more.

Lot's of great info as always ! I bet those cows were really happy to get on new grass . The sound of the cows eating grass is the sound of money going into the bank lol .

Hello Pete. Thank you for these informative funny videos. Do you milk your cows?

We hope Bessie does better this time around.

Hi Juliann, some people are forgetful, and I guess some cows are too!

How do you know when it’s too wet, soft and muddy for the cows to go out? I worry about them wrecking the pasture in those conditions!

What would be a good price for three Dexter cows one bowl two heifers registered I thought I heard in one of your other videos you were saying a small calf would be around 300 registered

Hi John, here's the video with some idea on pricing: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fKOWptibicqqnc4.html

Which one ended up being the dominate cow?

Good question! It's hard to tell once they're done head butting because they don't have very many opportunities to show which one is dominant. Especially on pasture, where everyone has their own patch of grass. But one of them had a calf later in the day!

is mud bad for their feet ?

Not necessarily, if their feet are healthy to begin with.

How many head per acre of grazing can you get away with generally when running a dexter operation?

@JustaFewAcresFarm

In our climate, we figure 1 head/acre. This includes enough land to make hay for winter feeding. If we were buying in hay, it would be 1/2 acre/head summer grazing only.
