About Dexter Cattle
Dexter cattle are a breed of cattle originating in Ireland. The smallest of the European cattle breeds, they are about half the size of a traditional Hereford and about one third the size of a Friesian milking cow. A rare breed until recently, but are now considered a recovering breed by The Livestock Conservancy.
