A medium-sized bovine creature, raised for its milk and meat.
Dexter cattle are a type of bovine creature. Their coats are single-colored, usually either tan, or brown, or black, without spots or blotches. They are generally kept as cattle in traditional land farms, in herds of various sizes. As with other bovines, males kept for breeding are known as ''bulls'', other males are referred to as ''steers'', and females are ''heifers'' when they haven't yet had a ''calf'' (a baby), and become ''cows'' when they do.
Though much larger than [[mini zebu|mini zebus]], dexter cows are still considered to be a relatively short species of bovine; adults of both sexes are 3 feet tall on average, but are larger and wider, with average weights reaching 600 to 700 pounds for cows, and 900 to 1000 pounds for bulls.
