The Dexter is the smallest British breed of cattle and is a dual purpose breed (milk and meat) with the average weight of a cow being about 300 kgs. and standing approx 36" to 42" at the shoulder. Originating from south west Ireland they are descended from the predominantly black cattle of the early Celts and were introduced to England in 1882 and first shown at the Royal Show at Norwich in 1886. The breed comes in three colours, predominantly black, but also in red and dun. Dexters are early maturing and produce excellent quality beef. The Dexters ability to adapt to varying and extreme climatic conditions has enabled the breed to become established in many parts of the world. How Much Land Will I Need? Where Can I Buy?
