Sounds like a wonderful setup!! I love those mini-cows. What will you use them for? Can you milk them? How cool that your boys are interested in gardening. Good for you! Welcome! Welcome!

The Dexters are a dual purpose breed, as are our heritage poultry breeds, and they will be used as such, milk and beef.

Thanks.

I've heard the Dexter gene pool is so small that there are inbreeding problems. Have you had any trouble along those lines?

We won't have the Dexters until next Spring. I have been doing some research and while I agree the gene pool is small, it is growing and there are some responsible breeders out there that are improving the stock. We will see, I guess.

Welcome to TEH. You will love this site. Your farm sounds wonderful! I would love to stop by to see your farmers market stand but alas, I am to far.

I guess I will have to settle for going to our tiny one and gardening in my 100sq. garden in the middle of a "concrete jungle"! :/
