Bred Dexter Cow for sale SW MO

We are again going to offer our Dexter cow up for sale. She is registered and her name is True Grit Aspen. You can see her pedigree here: Aspen

She is bred and confirmed bred by biotracking to a Red Devon bull and is due around March 10th. I am sure of the date as I saw her in heat and being bred on June 1st and no heats after that. She is friendly but not lovey dovey.

I had been milking her but I dried her off when we dried our other cow off. With the lack of good grass, her production had dropped off quite a bit and she was a year into lactation. Not to mention that I am pregnant and just needed a break.

Here is a pic from this spring:

Please ask if you want current pictures and I will go out and take a few. We would like $1000 but are willing to entertain reasonable offers. Please PM me with any offers but feel free to ask questions openly. I will answer to the best of my ability.

Thanks,

Rachel

I wish you weren't so far I'd start working on DH right away if you weren't.

I have to say - what a cool house ! How would somebody go about building something like that ?

It is a monolithic dome. The company that provides the pre-form is located in Texas. I helped build the thing. It is a vinyl form attatched to a slab and inflated, rebarred inside, sprayed with foam insulation then sprayed with 4-5" of concrete, framed in like a stick house on the inside. I'll get the name of the company, if you like, I can't think of it offhand.

DH and I live in a 50'D geodome. This is an example of what a circular dome floorplan could resemble:
