DNA Testing Available to all Dexter Breeders/Owners

The Purebred Dexter Cattle Association is offering a special chance for all Dexter breeders to test their cattle for the “bulldog dwarfism” gene. You do not need to be a member of the PDCA. ADCA members or non-members of either Association may be a part of this test. We must have all samples no later than June 1. Send your hair samples along with a check for $35 for each animal to the PDCA, 25979 Hwy EE, Prairie Home, MO 65068. We hope to have your results by July 1. If you want to put a bull with your cattle, this is your chance to test him. If you have animals you want to sell, this is a plus, guarantee buyers the status of your animals.

A form to complete to use with your samples can be found at:
