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. Feel free to visit our website as well.

Carnival has arrived!


 She's here!  It seems like we've all been waiting forever for her arrival.  Meet ES Carnival Red, the daughter of MornStar Seana and Tama Titanium.  We knew that Seana's calf would be both red and polled, but we still had the excitement of waiting to see if it would be a bull or a heifer.  Carnival was bred by Elissa Emmons in Texas.  We purchased Seana at the AGM in Stillwater this summer.  Thanks Elissa!

She arrived while we were on our long planned cruise vacation (Carnival - get it!?!) on Friday.  A Murphy's Law kind of thing -- we were certain that Seana was going to calve on the day we left for the airport, but she managed to hold out for six more days.  Glad we didn't wait!
Mother and daughter are doing fine.  Seana has one of the nicest udders we've ever seen and she's a really sweet mom.
Seana loves her treats - with or without Carnival nearby.  She is a treat hound (which means we can always get great pictures of her)......
