abstract:Dexter cattle are the smallest of the European cattle breeds, being about half the size of a traditional Hereford and about one third the size of a Friesian (Holstein) milking cow. They were considered a rare breed of cattle, until recently, but are now considered a recovering breed by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy.
Here the Ashbridge family lovingly nurtures native English breeds such as Gloucester Old Spot and Saddleback pigs, and Longhorn and Dextercattle, the latter known for its creamy yellow fat and the marbling in its meat.
