Hello Everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself. We are in the beginning stages of getting started with Dexters. We have 20 acres including the house, barn, and yard. We will probably dedicate 10 acres to the cows at first but have room to make a couple more paddocks if we need them. I am going to the National Dexter Show in Harrisonburg, VA on June 19th to gather information and hopefully make some East Coast contacts for buying cattle and learning. Our goals are to use our land by raising beef instead of just watching the grass grow on it and hopefully add income. Right now my goal is to learn as much as I can take in and do things right from the beginning. I hope to meet some of you soon!
