Dexter Cattle
Information page
A small cow, tough and hardy with short pointy horns.
A result of Sussex and Angus parentage, these animals share the excellent temperaments of two breeds. They have the wet and woodland confidence of the Sussex mothers and the upland foraging characteristics of the Angus father. These cows are always black, taking the colour from the male genetics. They are naturally polled (they don’t have horns).
These cattle are a new breed cross for us so we will update you as we find out more.

The story goes... they were bred by the Romans to take with them on their marches across the countryside so had to be strong, long-legged and happy to browse on whatever was available as they covered the length and breadth of the countryside.
