South Poll vs. Dexter: Are You Paying for the Name?

We wanted South Poll cattle. We really did. But the more we researched, the more we realized that Dexter cattle might give us many of the qualities we were looking for—without the same price tag. In this video, Adam breaks down why we originally considered South Polls, what drew us to the breed, and why we ultimately decided that Dexters made more sense for our farm. We’re talking about: • South Poll cattle and the qualities that make them appealing • What we were looking for in a low-input, pasture-based breed • How Dexters compare • Why affordability matters when building a small farm herd • Why we ultimately chose Dexters for our farm This isn’t about saying one breed is “better” than the other. It’s about finding the right cattle for our goals, our land, and our budget. And honestly… if you’ve been considering South Polls, you might want to take a second look at Dexters. 👀 Would you choose South Polls or Dexters? Let us know in the comments!
