the size of standard breeds. That makes them of particular interest to those with family or small farms. DEXTERS have an interesting history and are on the recovering list of the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy. IRISH DEXTER CATTLE are triple-duty animals, providing high quality meat, an excellent supply of milk, and can serve as oxen as well. DEXTERS will eat low-quality forage that many other cattle will not eat. Most DEXTER heifers and cows calve easily and are good mothers. |

What about AI? ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION is NOT used on FIVE PONDS FARM. The use of hormones on the females is normally an integral part of today's AI. Because we raise our livestock as naturally as possible, AI is not consistent with our program. Our exceptional bulls sire calves naturally, as the Creator intended. |
