They always said I was named after the tv show...
but it looks like they named me after a cow!
Apparently, its one of the smallest in Australia!
Dexter cattle, orginally came from Ireland and have a long history with records dating from the 18th century. The Dexter breed of cattle were first introduced into Australia in the 1880's and in more recent years have seen many more see the benefits of this small dual purpose (meat and milk) breed.
They are the smallest naturally occurring cattle of the British breeds, they are not miniatures. Often the Dexter is used to minature other 'mini' breeds. The ideal height for cows ranges from 97cm to 107cm and bulls 102cm to 112cm.
Most Dexter cattle are wholly black in colour and on occassion can also be red and dun (brown). The breed is naturally horned, with polled cattle having been introduced as part of grading and selection of the breed. Many Dexter breeders remove the horns of calves (debud) when they are a couple of weeks of age, which gives them a polled look.
