Welcome to the official website of the Ohio Valley Dexter Breeders Association! Home of friendly, family-oriented Dexter enthusiasts across the Ohio Valley and beyond!

We are dedicated to promoting the wonderful Irish Dexter breed - the perfect family cow, ideal for meat, milk, and oxen - while putting our youth first. Through education, networking, shows, and fun events, we help breeders raise healthy, well-conformed Dexters that meet the highest standards.

Whether you're a longtime owner, just discovering the hardy and docile Dexter, or looking to get your kids involved in showing, you're in the right place. Join our community of passionate breeders who love Dexters and supporting the next generation!

Explore our site to learn more about membership, upcoming events (like our annual Show & Sale), breeder directories, youth programs, and all things Dexter.

We're glad you're here - let's keep the love for Dexters growing!
