We started out with 4 heifers that we bought in the spring of 2012. We were going to try breeding by AI, but did not have a lot of luck. We had 1 calf, Thornburg Farms Bambi in 2014. That was when we made the decision to buy our first bull. We purchased Dbl Dutch's TY Breaker in the Spring of 2015.
In 2016 we had our first two calves out of TY, Thornburg Farms Dusty and Dannie. We have had seven calves out of TY . In September, we made a trade for a new bull: Stahlston Sir Vardon. Vardon is double polled so we will not have to worry with horns anymore! By changing herd bulls we can keep the heifers that we have had up to this point and add some new genetics to the herd. When we start calving calves from Vardon this fall we will have heifers that we will be able to sell.
All of our animals are dun in color. Check our For Sale page for animals that are available. Dexters are great if you want cattle but would rather not deal with larger sizes of full-sized cattle. They are great for kids to show and handle!
This is our daughter washing Thornburg Farms Dannie for the first time. She showed Dannie in our county fair in 2017.
