Dexters come from Ireland, their milk what Kerry Butter is made from.

Thats 1000 pounds? I don't have a lot of experience with livestock but it looks so small to weigh so much. Great looking animal though. Are they worth the effort to butcher?

He’s close to 1000 pounds. Dexters are considered by high end chefs as some of the best beef available, very flavorful. Steers will be in the 800 pound range at time of processing and yield around 350 pounds of meat.

@@amazingrazin oh wow they're great to know. Is that 350 is that boneless meat without offal? Or is that bones organs and meat?

That’s everything, but you mix the organ meat up with the hamburger and make War burger! It hides the taste of the organ meat and you get some extremely mineral and vitamin rich beef!

Is it possible to raise a dexter cow on .75 of an acre
@amazingrazin10 ай бұрын
Yes, but you would need to be in a region with good rainfall, and at least split it into 4 equal sized paddocks and rotate. 1 Dexter cow will need around 25 pounds of grass per day, 3% of her body weight.

You can raise if you grow a lot of tree fodder for the cattle. The more rainfall and heat the higher the chances of raising them on that size. Plus some additional cheap products like wheat/rice husk waste from chickpea processing the broken shells from the grain processing plants to add that extra DM. Mulberry/willow/poplar and elephant/bana grass is a good combination.
