After 10 years of keeping Dexter cattle, it seemed like a good point to make a change and sell them on to someone else. There were only 2 cows with recently born calves, we never kept large numbers of cattle due to the limited grazing space available here
This has the advantage that we can rest our land for 6 months or more while we consider the options for the future
That may be more cattle again but from another breed or might even just mean that we rent out the grazing land to a neighbouring farmer for their sheep
Taking the time to decide on the best option seems like a good thing to do!
