Benefits of Dexters
Dexter cattle have an excellent reputation when it comes to milk, meat quality and disposition. The compact breed is a productive animal, with the meat being high quality, lean and tender. Those who taste it always come back for more!
Here's an excellent rundown on Dexters as published in the September 2016 issue of Canterbury Farming. Thanks to Andy Bryenton of NorthSouth Multi Media Ltd for permission to reproduce his article:

The Dexter Cattle Society
The Dexter Cattle Society of New Zealand (DCSNZ) was established in 2000 to help facilitate the development of the breed. At this time two existing groups of Dexter Breeders (New Zealand Dexter Breeders’ Association – NZDBA & Dexter Cattle Society of New Zealand – DCSNZ) amalgamated to form the Dexter Cattle Society of New Zealand (DCSNZ). This Society then became incorporated, forming the Dexter Society we have today (DCSNZ Inc). In August 2019, there were approximately 1300 live Dexter cattle recorded in the Herd Registry.
