Here is a testimonial from someone who paid to get access to the Irish Dexter Cattlemen Gazette!
Yes. This is a big need. I believe there are a lot of people like us out there but the world is so commercialized that breeds like dexters don’t have as much information to learn from. This is gonna be a great tool for us and I’m sure it will help us grow more into what we’re wanting to accomplish on our farm in the future. Carrie Ann Bowers
Danielle Lowther of Byrn Mawr Dexter farm sounded the alarms this month. She found a bunch of books listed on Amazon that must be AI generated with little to no knowledge of what a Dexter looks like, let alone how to care for them.
She posted these on a Facebook group she created called the Horned Dexter Cattle and called for Dexter owners and breeders to show what books they had in their libraries. This sparked several breeders to chime in and post on their sites. Dexter owners are very protective of this breed! Below are photos from several Dexter folks with their cherished books. Included are their names and farm names, incase you want to reach out to them. The imposters are the featured image here.

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.
