Don't beat yourself up to bad. Higher education is never cheap.

That thumbnail of you looking back watching her go away breaks my heart bro.

from the auctions i been to over the years dexter type cows always brought less,, thank you for the tips

Really appreciate what you are doing. Been thinking about moving into raising Dexters. Have 22 acres here in SE NC with about 5 cleared acres and some small paddocks etc. just had a barn/shop/man cave fire so looking to start fresh. Thank you sir!

Good video ...

Also there are guys that buy the single calf's and put a set together and they get 20-50 cents more a pound for the very same weight calf's selling them in pen lots ..

Hay buddy it's nothard to see you care about the cows.your doing a great job

Dang! I would've scooped them up and kept them in my KC back yard till next week when we finally move to the Ohio ranch😀

Can you please make a video on beefing cattle and what kind of pricing ect you can expect

Love your videos. Very informative watching your journey. Wish you were closer if you were looking to replace the girls you sold. I got a beautiful red heifer here when she’s weaned I’m in north central Illinois

Dad and myself had cows for 25 plus years true dexters and small frame cows bring less per pound at a sale but you are selling beef at the sale my suggestion is to get your caves to 300 350lbs fast and sell them the longer you keep them the less profit you have

Maybe you should have kept the heifer. Maybe her sire has good uddered daughters. You’ll never know. But you are doing OK👍

Never take Dexters to a sale barn. You get way more money by beefing them out yourself. People don't understand the quality of beef they will get from the Dexter cow, therefore the price is low. Maybe once we get the word out about the beef, they will start bringing better prices. Keep up the great videos and work!

Tough one.

Feel bad myself when I send off cows that I've had for years, damn concience.

Off topic i apologize. Why does every one take them to a butcher instead of butchering them themselves? Is it a health thing, easier sale , legal requirement, etc? I noticed most everyone does it that way but it would seem much more profitable to do yourself. Honest question! Love your channel

I finally had a chance to watch these, my experiences in dairy land do not match your thinking. Have seen little to no correlation from how a mothers bag is to the calf, also have had a bunch of 3 teaters that produced just as good or better than some with 4 and had fantastic calves, as cows age and calve, bags usually drop and diameter increases, it is not unusual. With all that said, it is a item to watch and must be culled out because appearance especially in your case, but I think I would have got a date at the butcher and calved that cow out and maybe made 2 dates and took them both depending on how the calf you sold looked. Sure wish someone would do that here, that was a good buy.

Was that price with you telling there was an issue with the mom?

all of us are eaten you and me as well. It is the journey of life.

Oh hey, on the Dexter Family Milk Cow fb page Tanya has files set up for different topics, your udder videos would be a benefit there if you're interested in sharing them! Might get some more subs too!

I thought Holly would sell for more especially being pregnant.

Man, that is NOT much Money for the (3) ...
