The original Gazette, published by the Royal Dublin Society, was a “Register of Pure Kerry Cattle and Dexters” in Ireland and three years later became the Kerry and Dexter Herdbook, with volume 1 appearing in 1890. This Gazette is not about the Dexter cattle. It’s about the Irish Dexter Cattlemen.

While Irish Dexters are in some respects superior as a stock, owing to their fattening as well as their milking qualities. Their beef is also most excellent. As was stated by His Excellency Lord Eglinton, ‘they are the thoroughbreds of cattle’. That is what we think is true about Irish Dexter Cattlemen, they are the thoroughbreds of cattlemen.

This Gazette focuses on these cattlemen as your guide using the best technology available to provide answers to you the rancher and farmer. It uses an online relational database to structure information into areas of interest so that you can focus on topics of which you are most interested. These areas of interest are what we call Community Groups. Farm Management, Beef, Milking & Dairy, Herd Health, Historical, Selling, and Technology are Community Groups lead by Community Directors who scour the Internet looking for information that is of interest to their specific group. That information is posted here in the Gazette in the form of original posts from Community Group content creators, posts from industry experts, online digital magazines, Irish Dexter Registry publications, and independent podcasts and video providers.

If you have a passion for what you do and would like to share it with others, we would love for you to contact us and become a wrangler involved with others sharing your passion who work to produce the Gazette. email: wrangler@irishdextercattlemen.com
