I thought I would post pic's of the rest of our Dexter's. They are such great cows!!

Mayflower -

Impatients -

Sydney -

Antero-

Jewel- our yearling heifer

Tighe- our Bull

I still need to get a picture of Spruce. She looks just like Sydney, it's hard to tell them apart.

Mayflower, Sydney & Antero are still due to calf in the next few weeks and Impatients is due the middle to end of May.

Yes, Tighe is Meg's sire. He is the daddy to all our calf's this year. We are going to milk them this year. We only had Impatients last year, bought the rest of them last August. When she calved last year, we tried to milk her, but she really is lacking on bag size and it just didn't work out. We are picking up a milking machine tomorrow. So once we actually milk one of them, I will let you know how much they produce. We live in Erda, near Tooele, UT. that is the Oquirrh Mountain range. We love it here. We are basically surrounded by mountains on 3 side with a view of the Great Salt Lake on the other.

Tighe has a gentle look about him for such a big boy Those houses make it seem like the cows really are in your back yard!

Wow. You must live in a little patch of paradise. You are so lucky.

I must say, you have one of the best or better Dexter bulls I've ever seen! You've got some good-looking cows too.
