On the ranch
Small-framed cattle for a working herd
Dexters are a dual-purpose breed — well suited to milk, meat, and building a manageable herd on pasture. At Diamond Dawn 214 Ranch we raise them carefully as we grow the herd.
-
Herd building
We're expanding our Dexter herd with an eye toward long-term genetics, temperament, and pasture fit.
-
Milk & meat
A practical dual-purpose animal for a small ranch that values quality over volume.
-
Land stewardship
Pasture-based ranching — careful with the land, the animals, and how we feed the herd.
Nothing is listed for sale at this time. If you're interested in future breeding stock, beef, or learning more about our herd, email us.
