We looked at many breeds of cattle over
several years and chose to raise rare Dexter
Cattle at Cascade Meadows Farm. We chose
Dexters because of their small size (easier on
pastures and fences), their multiple purpose
production (excellent milk and beef from one
breed), their hardiness (long-lived, easy calving,
good mothers), and gentle dispositions. Our
foundation Dexter Cattle were specifically
selected for these characteristics from
outstanding herds with prominent bloodlines in
Oregon, Michigan, and California.
Our Dexters are small, long-legged type
(non-carriers of chondrodysplasia/no bulldog
genetic disease). They are primarily red and
polled, with a few black animals that carry red.
We also have some genetically horned animals
that were de-horned as calves to reduce the risk
of accidental injury to their fellow
herd-members.
Cascade Meadows Farm is committed to producing
top quality, polled Dexter Cattle with excellent
conformation in size, hardiness and temperament,
while enhancing their dual-purpose milk and beef
characteristics.
