I have a small dexter & Belted Galloway suckler herd at home. Small animals, but still get £800 for a finished animal at 22 months with no grain input & they are very hardy.
Always wondered how this cross would work. Hardy, somewhat native and Dexters have a resistance to some parasites?
We have a donkey and currently she's behind an electric fence chomping down old thistles that the cattle wouldn't even look at on the other side. The difference in the two sides is huge. Anyone here run a donkey with cattle to pick out those "weeds? I do know she's a liability around lambs with kicking but I'm starting to think if she moves with the cattle, weeds would be kind of controlled or is there some issues?
