Simply put, Dexters and the like are in short supply with rising demand. Simple law of economics. They fit small homesteads very well. Our goal, here, is to ,someday, provide non-registered Dexters for those types of families, for a reasonable price. We bought our non-reg cow for $750. Our bull was $400. They can be had for way less then $4000. If y'all keep your eyes open, we may decide to sell our pure bred cow in the next six months, or so.

Thanks all for the replies... I'd love to get some mini's but with the price of dairy stock dropping like a rock. The .gov is talking about doing buyouts again. I can't see spending more than meat price. Give the economy a few more months and these high dollar breeders and their ilk will be happy to have someone take it off their hands.
