Dexter cow 4 sale
Registered Dexter just had 2nd calf yesterday is about 3 years old now. She is $800 I dont have the papers can get them but they are two hours drive away and if I had the papers she would be 1,100 instead of $800
This is a good healthy cow no bad habits does not break out or anything. If you want to milk her she needs a strong staunchion. She will follow you anyplace if you have grain except the paved road (she is scared of the road) I trust my little 3 and 4 year old babies around her all the time even unsupervised but she is not tame enough to milk with out a strong staunchion (I never tried to milk her but she will not let me touch her. Offered to ya"ll first. I would keep her just for her calves but with two acres I dont have the room for a cow I cant milk and I dont have the $ for a good staunchion and dont want to fight an animal for it's milk, by the way she had a brown calf which is kind of rare for a dexter, I am bottle feeding the calf she is going to be my future milk cow getting by with goats milk for now.I live 45 min east of fayetteville AR near hwy 16 east.Pm me will get back to you when I can as no computer at home.
