Jack Walford bred Herefords at Wolverton in the 50’s and he was president of the breed society and spent time showing and judging round the country.
Today we breed Dexters which originated in Ireland in 1845. It is the smallest British breed of cattle. There are two recognised types, short legged and non-short. Dexter cows are extremely maternal and because of their dual purpose qualities will milk well. Dexter’s are noted for their longevity and should breed regularly for 14 years or more. The breed comes in three colours, predominately black, but also red and dun. They were first shown at the Royal Show at Norwich in 1886.
