Dexter Cattle Weight Chart

[Pseymour]

Hi There

We have recently had a weighing scale installed on our crush. I am looking to find a weight to age/height chart i can follow as a guideline for Dexters but struggling to find any! Any help greatly appreciated

Cheers

Does the Dexters society have one? I expect they have advice booklets given the memberships profile.

Probably not much help, my bullock weighed 191kg dead, (abbatoir said good fat cover)at 26 months pure dexter

My experience" of keeping Dexters was that they will do exactly what they want as regards growth and performance. No rhyme nor reason about "type". Just keep grub in front of them and let them get on with growing.

Longer you can give them the better the quality....
