Haye farm is home to the pedigree herd of Melgrove Dexter cattle Dexter cattle are the smallest native breed in the British Isles.
Originating from southwest Ireland they are a hardy breed able to thrive on poorer pastures and live outdoors year round. They are a dual-purpose breed being productive in both milk and beef. It is however their beef that is particularly prized being recognised as a premium product.
Dexter’s come in three colours black being the most common, red and dun. Our Melgrove herd was established in 1996 and is all dun coloured, the herd is the current winner of the Midland Group small herd competition. The herd lives outdoors year round and remain in family groups. They graze the grassland that is rich in wildflowers and herbs, during winter this is supplemented with hay . Mineral and trace elements are provided as required but no other additives or supplementary feeds are used. We strive to give our animals a natural fulfilling life
