Offered for sale NSF Almond Joy ADCA# 029729 will be 5 y/o in November. Joy is black carries red.She may carry dun, but is not tested, hetero polled, A2/A2. This is her third pregnancy. She is confirmed pregnant to
FF Freedom's Lakota who is also A2/A2, dun carries red and hetero polled. Joy is still in milk giving 3/4 gallon oad, after separating overnight. I only milk 3 out of 4 quarters and leave one for the calf. I expect she would produce 2 gallons a day milking tad if the calf was weaned. Gentle, friendly, halter trained.
So, how much would you ask? The calf is 6 months old, she can be sold with or without the calf.

Karen,
Send me a photo, and your price. I am going next week to pick up the troublesome cow and I will give the Amish man the info. He still doesn't have a milk cow!

I could use some direction on pricing. It would be significantly lower if he comes with your recommendation that it would be a good home.

Karen,
Hardly anyone ever answers these questions. It has only been in the last year or so that I even see sellers listing their asking prices in the public places.
I think I probably sell Dexters for less than most other Dexter owners, and usually I only advertise on Craigslist. I try to keep my prices within the range that a person looking for a cow to milk or to eat. . can afford for that purpose. It has always been my opinion that when excessive pricing ( fad demand) enters a breed it is always destructive, and it usually takes a long time for a breed to recover. With cattle, prices will never drop out the bottom because there is always a meat market, but other breeds where this fad demand has occurred, which do not have a mainstream use beyond breeding animals or pets, have ended up with animals whose value is pennies on the dollar of the fad prices. ( Think Llamas, Pot Belly pigs, Alpacas, Emus, and even mini horses and donkeys have suffered a huge decline in demand and prices, as have various miniature cattle "breeds".
Ok, that said. . . . The A2 cow with the A2 heifer at her side, both black and horned and modern lines were sold for $1200.00.
