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.

Time Sure Flies....

It's just a busy time here at Moosters.  The girls are now "visiting" 'Dance, who is a very happy camper now.  The show girls are about as ready as they get for the Show and Sale.  The grass is so green that it makes you want to cry.  There's a beaver in our creek - and he/it doesn't stay in the creek.  I never seem to have the camera when it's out zooming around though....

That's our Dance Machine, destined to be one of our next herd sires (yes, we are probably going to  back to two provided we find just the right one).  Mach is a sweetheart.  Last night in the pasture he came right over to visit and nearly licked the skin right off my arms.  We are really pleased with him.
Yodel and a few of the girls know that we keep apple treats in the back of the ATV.  They are not polite......
How can you not love that face?  Behind Luna, you can barely see a red bull across the county road.  Those are Salers - can you say huge?  Fortunately, they are behind buffalo fence (really - the ranch across from us used to be a buffalo ranch!) and don't appear to eager to escape.  They do pace the fence a lot and they have occasional stare downs with 'Dance.....  Soon they will be moved to "their" girls and we won't be worrying again for a while. 

One of my favorite shots from last evening.  Lush green grass, trees and healthy cattle.  Who could ask for more?!

  1. "Lush green grass..." We're hoping our mess will be enjoying the same, within a few weeks. I hope y'all get a great price from a really good buyer on Dancin' Queen! She's got that pretty shade of red that I just love! Same as our Killian. I'm only wishing we'd been able to pull something out of him with that same color. Have a safe trip and great time at the AGM! Don't forget that camera!
