Dexter cross

I'm looking for advice on breeding a Dexter cow with a beef breed like an Angus or Hereford. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Not advised. Dexters are small cows. Angus and Hereford bulls generally tend to be MUCH larger. Think about a breed's frame size and calving weights. Please reconsider and use a Dexter bull.
