Anyone else worried about their food supply in the near future? Thought maybe there would be interest in this breed of "small" cattle. Dexter Cattle are wonderful and very tasty.

I don’t imagine that they’d be easy to come by.

Screw that! I don’t care how big the cow is, I care how much it farts! The feds are looking to tax cow farts now.

Show me a cow that doesn’t toot, then I’m interested.

Dexter Cattle are horned. Here’s an article about that.

Just the right size for the coyotes to snack on.

I have been looking at Dexters for our place (we have 7.5 acres in Central VA). They look to be a good fit.

One cool thing to remember is they give about a gallon of Milk a day. More then we would use, so if we milked the remainder could be turned into Pig food.
