well thats funny it was dexters we were looking at :)
we have a application for a dwelling to go with a free range chicken farm on our land going in at the end of this month so the cow thing will have to wait till we know if we`ve got permission or not as it will reduce the grazing alot.
how far are you from oxford and how much am i looking at for a cow with calf at foot?

Unfortunately, we're a bit of a trail from Oxford, we're down in Devon, near Exeter. I've got a couple of short leg cows for sale, one with a new long leg bull calf at £500 and one with a nice short leg heifer calf at £650, she's just about to go back to the bull.
