Little Bundle of Trouble??

Oh dear.... we said no more....................... but a lady from the other side of Hobart contacted us the other day about a little Dexter cow she had for sale (very cheap!) under HALF the price of the other two! Admittedly not in calf or with calf but only two years old so it seemed at least worth a trip go look see. We headed off this afternoon after l finished work. Hot hot day for Tassie hovering around 31 in Hobart and about 35 here in the Huon.
She is locked in a tiny yard as she keeps escaping to get to other cows and horses as she lives all alone. She's a teeny little thing even smaller then Poppy and really shows the dwarfism that is the nature of the breed. Big forehead and rather stunted! A ferocious looking little thing but l think its just the horns that does it!!
We are 99% sure we will get her, we just need to check on transporting her home and double checking with the guy we got our two from his opinion on horned Dexter's combining with polled ones.
After her........no more..........................!!!!!
Drove back to the Valley in glorious light. What a truly stunning evening it was. Finished off with chicken kebabs outside under the tree and now bed. Perfect way to end the day.
