Dexter Cattle are a Beefy little milker

Dexters are a true dual purpose breed of cattle, used for beef and milk, however they are often listed as a triple purpose breed, since they are also used for oxen.

This breed originated in Ireland and have a long history with records dating from the 18th Century. The first Herdbook was produced in 1890 by the Royal Dublin Society.

Dexters were first introduced into Australia in the 1880's and have enjoyed an Australia-wide revival since the mid 1980's.

Dexters are the smallest naturally occurring British cattle breed. The ideal height for cows range from 97cm to 107cm and bulls 102cm to 112cm.

Dexters are usually black in colour with red and dun (brown) colours being less common. Their size makes them ideally suited to the small property owner as well as the farmer who understands that small-framed cattle can be more efficient than larger-framed cattle.

Dexters are renowned for their efficiency of pasture utilisation as they are one of the best converters of feed for both meat and milk. They are hardy and reflect their Irish heritage by thriving under a variety of climates and feed situations. Dexter breeders find that their Dexters are able to grow and reproduce in poor seasons as well as low quality pastures.

Dexter milk is very white and makes beautiful soft cheeses. Dexter meat is excellent quality with high bone-out percentage, tender and tasty, being well marbled.

Rajuki Stud, a member of Dexter Cattle of Australia Incorporated, has been breeding Dexters since 1990. We have stock for sale, or can obtain stock for you.
