Every one is home in Mercer county Ohio. Had a safe trip and a pleasent vist at Someday Maybe Farms in
Forestville N. Y. To see this many Traditional dexters on one farm is a sight to see.
We brought home the following Chautauqua Florrie and her 2 week old dun hiefer , Schea, Karel, Mariam.
After the 7 hr ride home the 2 older girls were more than ready to exit trailer if I understand
correctly they have been pasture cows for 3 yrs. We locked ours up for the night and allowed
them to have 3 acres to settle down in. After a few minutes of releasing a lot of energy they
started grazing and checking out the area. By 8:30 the older girls and calf were laying in the
2 ft. grass resting and it was a relief to see. Plan to put temp. electric fence up fri. night in a
area for them and release ours in a seperate area to allow everyone to adjust over next 10 -
15 days and then start mixing them and hopfully over time Shea and Florrie will become the
doctile dexters the rest are. This makes 6 traditional horned here now and that will be a great
start I hope with Breens AI here and others availlable. Its getting light out and I better make
sure they are still here.
