The Alvecote herd of pedigree Dexter cattle was named after the tiny Warwickshire village where it was founded ten years ago with the purchase of two heifers and is now, well established here in Ceredigion.  

Both short and non-short cattle are kept here and although the majority of our stock is red, we also have a few black ones as well.  Since numbers are strictly limited here, we are able to treat our cows as individuals which makes day to day management very easy.

Our Dexters have a great life here but they also have work to do; some produce milk for the home dairy, others not required for breeding purposes provide meat for the table, which is also sold at the farm gate.

Stock sometimes for sale, delivery can be arranged (journeys up to 8 hrs).  We also supply an aftercare information pack and telephone support for those new to cattle. 

We are very happy to show visitors around our herd at any time of year but please telephone or e-mail first to arrange a date and time.
