Traditionally
Reared Dexter Beef

Dexter cattle originated in Ireland and are the
smallest of British breeds - first introduced
into England in 1882. They are extremely hardy
and can live outdoors all year round if
necessary.
We like to provide them with shelter
over winter as this gives the grazing areas
chance to recover in time for Spring and also
gives the cattle some respite from our cold wet
weather.
Beef from Dexter cattle is superb - it
is often described as 'good, old fashioned beef'
which is naturally marbled and has a flavour all
of it's own.
Because Dexters thrive on a natural diet of
grass and hay and are not usually fed
supplements. The meat is high in Omega-3.
According to tests it can contain up to six
times the amount of Omega-3 normally found in
grain fed cattle.
Like all animals, Dexters have their own
personalities but, generally speaking, they are
pretty laid back and are quite easy to handle
and even halter train. |

Spring Farm is a traditional smallholding of
approximately 23 acres. We are lucky enough to
have a natural supply of spring water which our livestock are able
to enjoy from source. Our Dexter cattle graze outside for most of the year.
During the
worst of the winter months they are happy to bed down in their roomy
barn. We grow our own hay which is used to feed the cattle in winter. We
are also very lucky to have a working mill on the farm and we roll
our own barley for animal feed - as has been done here for years.
 We also rear British Saddleback Pigs, who are real characters and a
constant source of amusement! |
