Dexters For Sale

Keep checking back, we will be calving through the winter!

Note:  Since we are posting our list of pending deliveries, we are getting a lot of questions about “who has had what.”  So, we have started posting calves for sale as they are born.

Looking for calves?

Here is a sample of some of the calves we are still expecting:

Belle Fourche Eloise X Belle Fourche Macintosh

Belle Fourche Apple X Belle Fourche Mr. Right

Belle Fourche Peach X Saltaire Platinum

Belle Fourche Pollyanna X Belle Fourche Mon Coco

Belle Fourche Mon Chere X Belle Fourche Mon Coco

And, a few others!

All animals for sale are negative for Chondrodysplasia and PHA, (we do not market carriers of either known Dexter genetic lethal).  All animals qualify for ADCA, PDCA, or CDCA Registration.

We will gladly provide any known genotype for any trait, so if you are looking for something in particular, let us know.  Although the A2 allele is extremely common in our herd,  Belle Fourche Farm makes no claim as to A2 milk making consumers “feel better,”  or A2 milk treating or preventing any disease.  http://www.nature.com/ejcn/journal/v59/n5/full/1602104a.html   http://www.aseanfood.info/articles/11021883.pdf

This is a very small in stature dehorned red heifer, bred to one of our first A.I. Bulls, Hillview Red Wing. The calf will be red and polled. Reba is not from our bloodlines but we put a good amount of thought into which bull to use on her, and Red Wing seemed like the best compliment for her conformation.

Belle Fourche Mon Capitan

Belle Fourche Mon Capitan

Belle Fourche Mon Capitan
Sex: Male   DOB: 2014-11-28
Sire: Rainbow Hills Big Mac
Dam: Belle Fourche MonAmie

This polled dun calf is the combination of an older-bloodline Belle Fourche cow and Rainbow Hills Big Mac, a bull that has been deceased for a number of years. Straws of Big Mac are hard to find and non-dwarf animals from his old bloodlines were seldom collected. Together it makes an interesting combination of a dun animal with virtually no Woodmagic breeding, giving it  more  old-time American Dexter body style.   This calf has a bit more leg, a level tail set without the "dent"  and  long hook to pin  length with a  good angle.   These lines produce small birthweight calves but we do not expect this calf to be a shrimp  as an adult.  We currently have the full brother to this little guy,  and he is  darling animal that is naturally sociable with people but not at all overbearing.
