Some updates on what Irish Dexter cattle we have for sale right now.
1 four year old, 3 three year olds, 1 two year old, 5 yearlings left. They've been exposed to our Dexter bulls and should calve between January and May next year for any that are not in calf currently. This is a horned breed, we do not de-horn any and prefer them to keep their horns. Please take a look at our web site for more information on the breed and our farm along with pictures of the cattle. http://manitobadexterbeef.webs.com/
Prices: Cows/calf pairs - $550.00
Bred Cows/Heifers - $500.00
2 year old and yearling heifers - $450.00
2 to 4 year old Pure Bred bulls - $550.00

We're not planning on having a table each week at the Farmers' Markets in Brandon and Ninette this year, what with the price of fuel, butchering costs and the excess rain and flooding this year.
Peas are just starting to come up, just started eating onion greens, still have 10 out of 34 tomato plants and 8 out of 12 pepper plants to plant in the garden or for more planters for the deck. The garden's so slow at starting this year, had to downsize and scrap the original plans.

Getting ready to bring my new horse Fawn home this weekend. Made a trade with her owner and partner for 1 Dexter cow/calf pair and 3 other cows/heifers. Looking forward to heading to Grunthal this weekend to drop of a Dexter bull and stopping in Morris to pick up new cell phones for both me and Morley and a pair of new riding boots for me (mine are a little too tight to be comfortable).
