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.

It's a very Red spring

We are fortunate this year - so far, all of our new heifers are red.  Not that we won't be happy with a black heifer, but we just Love the little red girls! 
 
 
Born March 18, here's Swing Dance, daughter of Brezes and Dance.  She's red, polled (we think) and a sweet little beauty. 
This little fireball is Moosters RiverDance, daughter of Saphire and Dance.  She's also a great-granddaughter of Brezes (above).  She's only a few days old, but she doesn't stop moving!  And, like her mother, she's really people oriented already. 

This is Meara's FlashDance.  She is a character.  She's built just wonderfully, but even better, she likes us and I swear she has a sense of humor.  Flash is living up to her name as she is truly photogenic as well.


And here's Dance Machine at a little over two weeks old.  He's a stud!  And even better, his test is back from UC Davis - he IS homozygous polled!  I predict that he may be sticking around for a while...

We're still battling winter vs. spring around here.  Back to the deep freeze tomorrow with high winds and a possibility of snow.  We'll be out checking on the herd often.  Swallow is getting very close to calving so we're especially concerned about her.  Spring can just stick around after this - we can hope, right?

    Congratulations on all the wonderful turn-out with the babies! So happy for YOU!!

    This weather has us trumped just as much. All our fruit trees began popping blossoms... and then, they just quit... midstream. The swing with the temps, I guess. Our grapevine nodes began to swell... before they just ...stopped. Hard to tell what we can expect from the spring and summer this year.
