Boy those Dexter cows are powerful for their size. They have managed to destroy their round bale feeder. Without a feeder they tend to waste a lot of hay. The trouble with these guys is that the ordinary feeder sold for round bales doesn't work as they don't mind stepping over the sides and end up standing in the middle of the feeder. Regular sized cows are too wide to fit between the bars but not these guys!! The search is on for a welder that can custom make a feeder for these guys.
No snow cover here yet, glad that the ground has at least frozen. Frozen ground is much easier to drive over than the slippery mud.
Small farm dedicated to sustainable, humane practices. We raise Dexter Cattle, a naturally small multi-purpose breed in beautiful Cannon River Valley Minnesota
