We have a small herd of Registered Dexter Cattle. Nestled in the hills of the Arkansas Ozarks the cows thrive on the rich vegetation.
Dexter Cattle are perfect for the small farm. They are an old Irish Breed, small sized and dual purpose. These cows have wonderful easy temperaments, making them the perfect family cow. Dexter milk is high in butter fat and makes great home made cheese. Dexter meat has won taste tests and is very tender.
The Bulls
Bell’s Bluff Saber’s Blade ADCA 036751 was our first herd sire. His easy going temperament has passed to his offspring. We have 4 sweet heifers from him.
Iokies Cinder ADCA 042042 is our currant herd bull. He is a very gentle, easy going bull. The younger calves stay near him for protection.
The Cows
Jellybean ADCA 049364 is one of our first cows. She is a good mother and has produced a healthy calf each year.
Skittles ADCA 055911 is the first born to Jellybean. This girl is very friendly, she loves to be hand fed. We fondly call her our “pocket cow”, she likes to poke her nose in the jacket pocket looking for handouts. Skittles has given us two calves, she is a very good mother.
Starlight ADCA 055912 is our only cow that has been de horned. She is a good mother, very gentle and will stand in the field and let us milk her. She has given us two good heifers.
Daylight ADCA 056146 is the sister to Starlight. Like all of our cows this girl is also very gentle. We hope to have a calf from her in the fall of 2026.
Snickers ADCA 056147 is sister to Skittles. Unlike her sister, she is a little shy but likes to have her back scratched. We hope to have a calf from her in the fall of 2026.
The Young Ones
Sunrise is the first calf of Starlight. She is a very gentle easy going heifer that loves to have her back scratched. We plan to keep her for a milk cow when she matures.
Starburst is the first calf of Skittles. She is very gentle and always underfoot. She loves chin scratches and will also be one of our milk cows when mature.
These two calves were born in the same week. They love to run and play, getting into mischief. The red one, Fireball is a bull from Skittles, the Black one, Nova is a heifer from Starlight.
