Thinking of getting a Dexter Heifer!
We're new to hobby farming, but are thinking of getting a 10 month old Dexter heifer this weekend. The lady says she is about 300 lbs or so and 34 in. - is that normal for the age?
She wants 400 for her - is that a good price? I guess she is mostly halter broke and fairly friendly and gentle. We're wanting to either breed her, milk her, or use her for meat (prob. not that)!
We have 1 cow now that will be off to get processed soon.
Any thoughts? And any thoughts on AI or getting a bull in the future?
Thanks so much!
