Dexter Cattle for Sale

Hello there

We have a number of Dexter heifers, bull calves and one bred cow for sale. We have red, dun and black colours to choose from. Located in the Pacific Northwest, right below Portland, we are right on the I-5 and transportation can be arranged anywhere in the US.

I pride myself in breeding true dual purpose animals. If you would like to visit my website, please do so ….it will be updated shortly. Please feel free to contact me for photos and information on the animals that we have for sale.

Thanks

Chris Ricard

They look nice, but I have to admit, that I'm partial to horns on cattle.

I really liked the pictures on your site. It's too bad you're so far away :-)

Yes Greg you are right ...a lot of people are ......

As for distance away , there is transport that is available anywhere in the US and it is quite reasonable. I shipped a couple of heifer out here from Back east to get a little divercity in the herd but still along the same bloodlines .....one of the smartest things I have done.

Thanks for looking at our cattle .....

Chris

My heifers are doing well - I ended up going with Briarwoods Blaze of Glory, and I think the heifer I had AI'd at the start of the month settled on the first try as we have passed the rebred date with no signs of heat. I'll be doing a bio tracking pg test on her next week.

I have been told that you can use a human home preg check too .....I have never done it I do know others that have ......

That will be a good mix for you ....He is the Grand sire of the bull those heifers are out of.......
