What are Dexter Cattle?
Dexter cattle are a small cattle breed which originated in the South of Ireland. These cattle rarely grow above 44 inches (112 centimeters) at the shoulder, leading some people to mistake them for miniature cows. They are in fact a true small cattle breed, not a miniaturized breed. In addition to being raised in many parts of Great Britain and Ireland, Dexter cattle are also found in many other regions of the world, especially North America.
