Dexter Cattle
Dexter
Cattle are small cattle of Irish origin.
They are “beefy little milkers”, which means they are pretty versatile and popular with hobby farmers who want a friendly cow that won’t tower over the children and can be handled without needing a truck or a cattle prod |

Watermark
is officially described as Watermark Dexter Stud in the
records of the Dexter Association of Australia. That sounds pretty
fancy, but we do have some pure-bred cows and one very promising little
bull named Watermark Bounty. He was born in 2006, which was a
‘B’
year, so all Dexters registered that year had to have names starting
with ‘B’. 2008, of course, is a ‘D’ year
and we have now added Dorabella and Diana. (‘X’ and
‘Z’ presented challenges to breeders.) Yarra Storm, from neighbour Helen Collie’s farm, was here on duty for nearly twelve months and has done his stuff by our girls, and we have some beautiful new calves to entertain visitors. You can now order a side of Watermark Dexter from us. This breed make excellent eating and, because they're small animals, they won't overwhelm a domestic freezer. They are professionally killed at Dardanup Butchering Company and can be cut and packaged to your requirements. While you're here, you can 'meet the meat'! (or not...- as you prefer) |
