Since I work hard to develop and know my bulls, I like to let prospective buyers choose a
bull (calf or adult), or narrow to a choice of two bulls, first. Then I can go over
compatibility factors among the females I have for sale.

If you should want to consider others, I also have small bull calves including
Gladhour Wizjet (red, horned), Gladhour WeePixMor
(black, double-polled, carrier of red), another little black-polled born in fall, and another horned
red born in fall. These will be at a lower price as they are so small/young.

Bulls
I have emphasized my bulls. As recommended by rare breed conservators, I have grown out bulls
from a number of my lines to see how they develop. Buyers often try to assess a bull at a young
age by his looks. It is often difficult to assess a bull at the age many are cut, particularly
when the breeder does only grass-feeding, and even more difficult to guess what the bull will
produce, the real test. With the aid of the eyes of some in my grazing group, I have worked
toward good beef conformation, while with the help of aAa, I have worked toward balanced structure
so as not to lose sight of the dairy side of "dual purpose." With my vet's help, I have tested
my herd to be free of many health issues. With the help of Agrigenomics lab testing most of my
herd for chondrodysplasia in the first months of the DNA test's availability, I can offer buyers
assurance about their bull's status in reference to chondro. I now have PHA information on most
of my animals as well. I have sought out bulls from distant states to provide what I wanted in my
herd. And with a great deal of effort in management, I have used the services of a number of my
bulls to give certain traits in my calves. Therefore, I highlight my bulls for sale. Indeed,
herds need females, and several of them. But without effort such as I've described on the bull
side, Dexter breeders are often reduced to "using the local bull"; because they do not have the
offspring, siblings, and parents to see for a given bull,they are likely to chose to buy or use
a bull based on his individual appearance, or the convenience of his location. I hope that the
additional effort of Gladhour Farm in bull-raising creates a positive influence in the longterm
for the Dexter breed.
