Not sure there are any other Dexter owners on this forum down here in Arizona but thought I'd stop in and say hi.

I purchased my first Dexter back in April, she calved a beautiful heifer for us in June. Relearned to milk and am getting about a quart a day. I could probably get more if I milked twice a day but I figured CC could use it more. I've found a couple other people down here with Dexters, but most are pretty far away so I though i'd join this forum to get in touch with more Dexter owners to learn from.

Congratulations on a safe calving and your first heifer--and welcome to the forum! There are a few of us here who milk, always glad for more!

Thanks! I enjoy the milking, but I do remember it being way easier when I was younger. She was hand milked for 2 years prior when i got her but she acted like it was all new to her when we started. lol. But we now have a system and she's doing great. Can't wait to find out how well CC milks in a year or two.
