Dexter Cows and Calves for Sale 2024
Suitable for herd breeding and or milking
Discount for 3 or more
Kia Ora, Wow what a year or three we have had on the farm. We were, as you may know, hit with really bad floods several times over 2 years and we had a lot of damage. In particular we lost access to the hill block where many of our cows were at the time and it has taken 2 years to get them down into the yards. Consequently we lost a year of hand raising calves.
Our herd is progressing well, however and we have committed to milking Dexter x Jersey crosses. We love the crosses and find they do best in our conditions when milk is the most important output, although of course meat is still very important. Be sure to read the Thorny Croft page where we give details about the herd and the benefits of Dexters.
As a consequence we have some beautiful purebred Dexters along with some 3rd and 4th crosses for sale this year. It will be the last year we do, because from now on we are using a bull that is not a purebred.
All of these Dexters would be great to begin a breeding herd, some have been milked by us and most of them have been hand reared and are quiet.
We have put them all into a spreadsheet so you can see everything available.
We are imagining that you will pick and choose to come up with a set of animals that suit you.
Organising transport is your responsibility however Taiamai may be able to give you some advice perhaps, based on our experience.
We have priced them to sell as fast as possible and offer a discount of 10% if you by 3 or more animals.
All of these cows have been special to us and we would prefer they went in groups. If trying to choose more than 1 cow or calf look at the column where it says long or short legged. Best to keep the short ones together and the longer legged cows together.
Please feel free to talk with Taiamai if you have any questions on 0211436854.
