Breeders of Registered Irish Dexter Cattle

Sac Valley Ranch

Welcome to Sac Valley Ranch!

We are located in the heart of the Ozarks in Southwest Missouri. We have 135 acres of valley land on the banks of the Big Sac (pronounced “Sock”) River. Thus the name, “Sac Valley Ranch”.

We first saw and fell in love with the Dexter breed during the 2003 October Farm Fest Festival in Springfield, MO. We purchased our first 2 cows in March of 2004 along with our first dun polled bull.

Our addiction grew and over the next few years we continued to purchase additional cows and heifers.  We still were not satisfied with just raising Dexter's and decided to give the show circle a try. We were hooked from our first show!  After we replaced our starter bull with McRed in 2007 we entered our first Dexter show.  We left that show with McRed winning Grand Champion Bull. In 2008 we purchased our second herd bull, Tyrone who we think has the qualities to be an excellent show and herd bull.  Then in 2009 we purchased our third bull, Shannon. All three bulls have or are in the show string. Tyrone and McRed are both Grand Champion bulls and Shannon is working to achieve his title as well.

Sac Valley Ranch breeds for quality animals of all three colors (red, dun and black). We breed for polled animals but do have horned (will be dehorned) animals born as well. We feel the disposition is equally if not more important than conformation and will put any animal in the freezer that does not meet our disposition requirements.

Please feel free to call or email us if you would like to visit the Ranch, we enjoy the company of our fellow Dexter enthusiasts.

We have both polled and horned (dehorned) animals of all three colors. (black, red and dun)
