Dexter Cattle are perfect for the small family
farm. Cascade Meadows Farm 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 short and beefy, but do NOT
carry a semi-lethal form of dwarfism called
chondrodysplasia (sometime referred to as
bulldog genetic disease, or "short-leggedness").
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,
