IRISH DEXTERS
REGISTERED DEXTERS
The ZeeLee Cattle Company raises registered Irish Dexters in the heart of Central Illinois. Our herd is all PHA and Chondro free, with a mix of all three Dexter colors — red, black, and dun. We work to contribute high-quality genetics to this heritage breed by selecting for general conformation, hoof quality, udder quality, calving ease, and grass conversion ability. Additionally, many of our animals possess A2/A2 genetics for the highest milk quality. Along with these factors, we pay careful attention to animal disposition in the maintenance of our herd, striving to ensure a calm, friendly, workable herd. Dexter cattle produce excellent beef, make wonderful milk cows, and are an ideal choice for any homestead or small farm.
