The Dexter Cattle – A Perfect Homestead Meat Breed

May 24, 2017 by Aust Leave a Comment

What is the best breed of meat cattle for your homestead? If you are looking for a great backyard meat producer, the small sized Dexter cattle may be right for you!

 

 

Recently we traveled to a Dexter cattle farm and took a good look at this breed of backyard meat cattle.

Dexter cattle are smaller in size, eat less than average cattle, and are a fantastic dual purpose breed, giving a homesteader both meat and milk from just the grass you have in your backyard!

In this video, we answer all your questions about the dexter cattle.
How big do dexter cows get? How much does a dexter cow eat? How much meat do you get from a dexter cow? Find out all about this awesome backyard breed of cow!

Morgan Tempelton from Aradia Farms in CT shows us her herd of dexter cattle. Morgan raises Dexter for meat, and she sells her beef at the farmers market.
