Meet the Dexter Cattle
Heritage Irish Breed
Frannie
DOB 6/28/22
Frannie came to us from a farm in Georgia and is the sweetest girl (and mama). She is expecting in May 2025. This will be her second calf but our first on-farm birth. She instantly became the herd mama and brought a sense of calm that they needed.
Gracie
DOB 11/30/23
Gracie came to us from a farm in Georgia (along with her friend Frannie). She is very vocal, especially when she is looking for treats. Along with some sweet feed, she enjoys a taste of peanut butter and will lick it off of your fingers.
Winnie (the moo)
DOB 4/25/24
Winnie came to us as a young heifer from a farm in South Carolina. While she and Violet were the youngest of the herd when they came, Winnie was the one to defend her right to be here. One minute she is wrestling with Gracie and the next, she is licking Gracie’s head! We are hopeful Winnie will be ready to bring new life to the farm later in 2026.
Violet
DOB 4/10/24
Violet and Winnie arrived together from a farm in South Carolina. Violet is the shy one of the two. She is less likely to challenge her herdmates. It is difficult to tell her and Winnie apart except Violet has a brown patch above her nose. We are hopeful that Violet will be ready to bring new life to the farm later in 2026.
What our visitors say!
The farm tour was the highlight of our day. You can tell that Ann and Larry have put a lot of work and love into the farm. We enjoyed learning about it and, most of all, we loved getting to feed and pet the alpacas! Luke the dog was so friendly and cute too.
Shelly
The tour offered of the farm was a special bonus - our toddler great-niece and -nephew staying in a house nearby LOVED feeding the alpacas (as did the adults) - Ann and Larry were generous with their time and sharing info about the alpacas, chickens, etc. and were very patient and sweet with the toddlers.

The farm tour was as fun as it looks! Beautiful property with hosts who made it that much more enjoyable!
