About Irish Dexter Cattle

The Dexter originated in the South Western region of Ireland. Dexter cattle are the smallest breed of cattle in America. They are dual purpose animals producing both quality meat and milk.

Dexter cattle have a broad, deep torso, short legs with noticeably angled back legs and heavily muscled hind quarters. There are two recognized types, short-legged and long-legged.

Cows mature to approximately 800 lbs and are an average of 36-42 inches high at the shoulder. Bulls mature to approximately 1000 lbs and are an average of 38-44 inches high at the shoulder.

Dexter cattle present several colors: black, dun and red.
