I want one
Via Boing Boing, a link to a Times Online story, Just right for the garden: a mini-cow. Irish Dexter cows are small, about 40 inches high, and can produce a couple gallons of milk a day, containing up to a quart of cream per gallon. Enough to share with all the neighbors! Fresh ice cream every day. No need to pasteurize! It's perfect!
(Wonder if our little acre-and-a-half or so pasture would be big enough.....)

If yours isn't enough you can pasture her across the road at my place. Ymmmm. Haven't had fresh whole milk and cream like that since I was a kid at grandparents dairy farm in Ohio.

When my father retired as a GP (doctor) in Yancey County about 30 years ago I gave him a Dexter bull as a retirement gift. We picked "Charlie" up in Florida. He rode proudly in Dad's VW bus up I-95 to Celo.. We did get quite a lot of attention, but the bull was great. He was joined by a cow and the small family provided milk, meat and companionship for quite a few years...They are a great breed...
