BIG Bull Breeding a little Heifer!

In this video we put our Dexter bull (Mr. President) in with our “mini” dexter heifer (Ladybug). Ladybug is an 18 month old chondro carrier dexter heifer. She is approximately 30 inches at the hip and would be classified as a mini cow when compared to other cattle breeds. We talk about chondrodysplasia, why we are breeding her to Mr. President who is a non chondro carrier, the importance of conformation, and breeding qualities to look for in your breeding stock.

About Sweet Briar Farm
We are a small farm located in Central/Northern Michigan. We farm every inch of our 6 acres. We breed Registered Dairy Goats, Dexter Cattle, and Heritage Hogs. Clean healthy food is important to us and we like to produce the majority of our food on the farm and we grow and raise enough to sell to local customers. Producing our own food also means we forage for wild edibles such as mushrooms and tap our maple trees in the spring to make maple syrup. In 2019 we added honeybees to the farm and have had as many as 30 active hives producing honey for us.

Our goats include Nubian goats, Mini Nubians, Fainting Goats, and Nigerian Dwarf goats.

Our Heritage Hogs include: registered Berkshires, Tamworth, Kune Kune, and Hereford.
