Dexters For Sale
Please email if you are interested in being on a list for 2023 heifer calves sired by Belle Fourche Guido and other bulls. bellefourche@aol.com
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, just let us know. Most of animals are A2 but with of the lack of scientific support for the A2 hypothesis, we feel it would be misrepresentation to advertise animals as A2 or to price them differently. Here is a review of current literature on A2 milk. http://www.nature.com/ejcn/journal/v59/n5/full/1602104a.html
We strive to offer animals in the top 5% of the breed.Cows

She has an imported sire, Moomin MacDuff, and has the tremendous depth of body, (which is what we were after when we decided to use her sire on selected cows) and is a big milk producer with more of a hand-milking teat shape.

Follow Pink, a young Dexter cow, as she and her barnyard friends solve the mystery of the stable room monster.
This book was written by our young neighbor. It is a delightful story and features Dexter Cattle, as well as Jacob and Shetland Sheep, Colored Angora Goats, and Icelandic Horses.
Susanne Barnett is a 12 year old girl who loves working with farm animals. She also enjoys writing children's stories. She brought these two hobbies together through "Pink and the Mystery of the Stable Room Monster". Susanne hopes children will not only enjoy the story but will also develop a love for some of the rare breeds of animals that live on American farms.
