Compare Photos of "Legacy" Dexters vs. "Polled" on pedigree

[cascade]

FACEBOOK---"Michael Foor-Pessin: Examine the photos of modern polled carefully and then look at the traditional cattle.The eyes tell the truth. I can see the transformation of the original tripurpose animal into a beef animal that is looking more and more like a small red angus and less like a dexter. I started this group because I am convinced that without a serious preservation effort the original Dexter that so many of us are fond of will cease to exist in the near future. Shaun's descriptiion is absolutely correct." 


Let's look  "carefully" at photos to prove Michael is wrong (again).


Here's a  "Traditionally Horned LEGACY" cow  (Wee Gaelic Ms. Fermoy - born in 1991)





Here's a  Saltaire Platinum daughter  



Here's a Saltaire Platinum grandson and granddaughter







PS.  There are more than twice as many horned Dexter calves born and registered in the ADCA per year now, compared to 1990....    Horned Dexters aren't scarce, they've more than doubled in the past 25 years.

The "Traditionally Horned Dexter" Group on facebook still can't define what "Traditional" means. Every attempt they make runs into contradictions.

They refer to the above red hornless cow as "Traditionally Horned" or "Legacy Horned" (even though she has no horns)

But they refer to the above black HORNED cows as "Modern Polled" (even though the above horned dexters have ZERO polled genes).

The Traditionally Horned Dexter facebook group is floundering in a sea of confusion.

Kirk, thank you for your continued input regarding Dexter preservation efforts.
Please know and understand:

WE GET IT!

You don’t need to continue to tell us all that there are holes in the pedigrees of nearly every Dexter afoot (most of which occurred when the English were more concerned about the potential need to learn German than they were the need to keep up with cow registrations).

WE GET IT!

You don’t need to continue to propose that these holes can mean only one thing in your opinion (that those owners were trying to cover up their cross-breeding efforts). A curious idea since in general, in the UK of that era there was a general acceptance of the practice (as exemplified by the Appendix and Experimental registries.)

WE GET IT!

You don’t need to continue to then conclude for all of us that those animals with documented crossbreeding are just as “Dexter” as those without in your opinion.

WE GET IT!

You don’t need to continue to pretend that Saltaire Platinum and all of his polled descendants look just like every other Dexter. (They DON’T HAVE HORNS… DEXTERS ARE A HORNED BREED!!!!)

We GET IT!

In short, you don’t need to continually demonstrate that you do not support Legacy Dexter or Traditional Dexter breeding efforts in any way shape or form.

WE GET IT!

Now why don’t you start using ALL of the time and energy you devote to harassing our productive efforts for something productive of your own? Is trying to get all of us to realize that you are an opinionated and obstinate ass the highest calling you have? If so, you can stop now:

WE GET IT!
