Welcome to Moosters Meadows - home of Irish Dexter Cattle! We strive to breed a truly dual purpose Dexter, providing both excellent beef and milk. All of our Dexters are purebred and registered with the American Dexter Cattle Association (ADCA). We'll be blogging about what goes on here on our little ranch in Wyoming and life with Dexters.

Welcome Rennie

Meet Moosters Rennie.  She's was born today to one of our favorites - Resta and our marshmallow sweet dun bull Winchester.  I very carefully checked all her parts before declaring her a heifer!  She has a 50/50 chance of being polled, but we weren't able to tell today.  Winchester's heifer from last year was polled; his first heifer this year (born to Elsie who lives in Cheyenne now) is horned.  We'll know in a few more days for sure. 

Resta calved in the windbreak (smart girl!), but later led Rennie down to the infamous watering hole in the creek.  Pretty soon, all the calves gathered there:

I had a most enjoyable time sitting on a stump watching them play - with each other, with dead wood, with the other cattle.....   They are just too stinkin' cute!
