DEXTER CATTLE AUSTRALIA

Dexters are a dual purpose (meat & milk) breed, well suited to small acreages, where larger breeds are unsustainable. This productivity has resulted in increased numbers of registered breeders across Australia, since their placement of the rare and endangered list in the 1980's, including over 20 studs in Tasmania. All our members are registered members of Dexter Cattle Australia Inc. (DCAI)... Although small, Dexters cows can produce excellent milk (up to 10 litres daily), making them suited to supplying milk for the family, or for suckling an extra calf. Whilst on their dams, Dexter calves gain weight rapidly... Dexter beef carcases average 55% dress out, and are typified by smaller, finer-grained cuts, suitable for the home freezer.
