Dexter cattle are a naturally small dual purpose heritage breed originating from Ireland.
Dexters are known as the "Beefy Little Milkers" and are the smallest of all British Cattle Breeds.
The breed's small size and dual purpose capabilities make them ideal for hobby farmers and small holdings.
Dexter cattle are kept for many reasons:
for beef; for milk; as grazers; as companions; for breeding; or for showing.
At Keenleavale Dexters we strive to breed Dexter Cattle that are true to the breed with good temperaments.
We are registered members of Dexter Cattle Australia Incorporated (DCAI) and committed to improving and promoting the breed to continue the popularity of Dexter cattle in Australia.
Our farm is located in Kurrajong in the beautiful foothills of the Blue Mountains, Sydney, Australia.
