Southern Cross Miniature Dexter Calf
Dexter Cattle
Dexters are the smallest British breed of cattle and are established as a dual purpose breed with the average weight of the cow being some 700 lbs and standing approximately 36" to 42" at the shoulder.
The breed comes in three colors, predominantly black, but also in red and dun. They are extremely hardy and can live outside all year round.
They are efficient food converters, the ratio of their milk and beef production to food consumed is very impressive.
Heifers mature young and can be put back to the bull at 15 to 18 months old. Dexters are noted for their longevity and should breed regularly of 16 or more years. Calving problems are virtually nonexistent.
When bottle fed at approximately 10-15 days old, they make excellent pets and readily bond with their human surrogate parents.
Southern Cross Miniature Donkey Family
Donkeys- Standard and Miniature
Donkeys make great, lovable pets, and they're easy keepers!
They are extremely intelligent animals and are easily trained to pack, drive or ride. they willingly attempt to do anything you ask them to. They may be a bit cautious about anything new, hence their undeserved reputation for stubbornness. But this is really just another sign of their intelligence.
Donkeys love human contact and have gentle, sweet dispositions. They quickly become attached to their owners, and will greet you loudly with their wonderful hee-haw bray when they have missed you, or if they just want some attention. Donkeys also form strong bonds with other animals and for this reason are being used for predator control to protect newborn animals, and as companions for other equines.
They have a well developed sense of humor and love to play- of they don't have "toys", they will make their own out of anything they can find....buckets, tubs, branches, etc.
Most people who acquire a donkey find that they are so endearing and entertaining that they are absolutely hooked on these gentle, long eared friends. They quickly learn that one donkey is simply not enough!
"Concerning the difference between man and the jackass: some observers hold that there isn't any. But this wrongs the jackass."......... Mark Twain
