Dexter Cow

Dexter Cows are a smaller breed of cattle that typically come in three solid colors: black, red, and dun. Some may also have a bit of white on the udder, along with white horns tipped in black. They have broad muzzles, large nostrils, and a strong, compact build. Dexter Cows generally stand between 34 and 46 inches tall, while Dexter Bulls are usually a bit larger.

Dexter Cattle originally came from the mountainous Kerry region of southwest Ireland, where open land and rough conditions helped shape them into a hardy and adaptable breed. Today, they can be found in many agricultural settings and are valued for doing well in a variety of environments.

Dexter Cows feed on grass, hay, and other pasture vegetation.

Dexter Cattle are social herd animals and typically live in groups. They are often known for their steady temperament, and Dexter Cows are especially recognized for being attentive mothers. Dexter Cattle can live to around 20 to 25 years old.

Dexter Cattle are often described as a hardy, versatile breed. They were historically valued for their ability to thrive in tougher conditions and have long been appreciated in farming settings for their manageable size and adaptable nature.
