Pretty Bull. One of these days would you post a pic of someone standing beside him or one of your other Dexters, so I can grasp just what size they are. How much do they weigh when they are grown, like the bull?

I managed to get me a belted galloway and have 3 now. Sold one and the boy is being raised for meat. I have been wanting a Dexter since I heard about them. I want one that I can handle and milk.

Though they're both good looking, which one of us are you referring to?

TonyB's bull is the one that started this thread off, I was just posting a picture of his bull's sire and dam so TonyB and others could see what he came out of just for comparison.

The sire of TonyB's bull is 39" at the hip, and the dam is 40". Sire is a chondro carrier and dam is not. I'm not sure how big TonyB's bull is but I would suspect shorter. Junior was born early May, 2010.

I like both. According to the measurments of TonyB's bull I would be taller than it. Nice to know as both look hugh in the pictures.
