The new online store could even be its own website. It had our farm name, pictures, how we raised our Dexters. our phone number, and even a Follow button capturing their email address.
For the first time, our farm had an online store. Individual cuts of our beef were there. Pork cuts were there. Our pigs for sale were there. All the live Irish Dexters for sale were there. Even the wholesale beef halves and beef wholes were there. A nightmare solved!
I could taste the amazing Irish Dexter tri-tip. Then suddenly I wokeup. It was all a dream. Oh, if only I thought.

The relocation of a feral herd of 16 Dexters that lived in the Addo Elephant National Park’s Wilderness area has caught the attention of scientists after the South African Dexter Cattle Breeders’ Society became aware of the herd roaming in the park a few years ago. The society initiated the relocation of the animals to Bronkhorstspruit in Gauteng.
