Dexters, a Tiny Breed that Treads Lightly on our Foodshed

Chris Soler, on his family farm in South Mount Vernon and his homestead in Bow, has been experimenting with cattle breeds and pasture management that are both ecologically healthy and resilient to meet the demands of our changing climate.  Here are pictures of Tiny the Cow and her calf Tina.  Tiny is a Dexter, a small breed that does an excellent job converting grass into meat or dairy.  You can go to this Mother Earth News article to learn more about Dexters.
"They're all  cute and fuzzy, and if the pastures are managed right, they are helping to store carbon in the soil, while counteracting the addition of CO2 into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels." ~Chris Soler
