Welcome New President
David Jones -- Manvel, TX
I graduated from Arizona State University in 1981 with a Bachelors
degree in Marketing. I relocated to Houston, Texas after graduation
and have worked in the Real Estate Development and Management
Industry since. I have been the President of
Southhampton Mgmt. since 1998. Southhampton
develops and manages Class A apartment communities for investment
purposes. Most recently we orchestrated the sale of an 18 property
portfolio for a record sales price of $715 million dollars.
I was raised in Iowa on the family farm where we maintained both a
commercial cattle and confinement hog operation. I purchased my
first Dexter in 1987 and have actively participated on both a
National and Regional level for the past 5 or 6 years. We maintain a
herd of about 40 cows as well as raising miniature horses and
donkeys. The animals are co-owned with my twin brother Devin.
I
am currently an officer on the Board of Directors for the Houston
Apartment Association, Avenue Community Development Corporation and
a Board Member on the National Kidney Foundation of SE Texas. All
three organizations are non-profits promoting education and social
welfare.

Milking
Dexters
Carol Koller
Milking my Dexter has been a
learning experience to say the
least!! I'd never had a cow
before and certainly never
milked anything. When our
first calf arrived, she was
left with Mom for the first
week, the calf was strong and
feeding well, so my milking
got underway.
I
had decided that I wanted to
share with the calf as I
didn't want to commit to
milking twice a day and seven
days a week to start with. Now
sharing with a small 40 pound
calf is one thing, but sharing
with a 200 pound plus calf
makes for some nimble footwork
and some hysterically funny
moments.
There is no way you can share
with a calf and put a bucket
under the cow and milk like
you see in the movies, it just
doesn't work. If you've never
seen a calf feed before you
won't believe the amount of
saliva and slobber it creates,
the saliva ends up on and in
everything. You may also not
be aware that a calf bunts
it's mothers udder with it's
head to stimulate the Mom into
letting down her milk for said
calf. Now this bunting the
udder from a small calf is
hardly noticeable.
However, when you are one side
and a 200 pound calf is the
other side bunting, Mom can
only go one way, and it's your
way! You go on your butt and
generally milk goes on you,
and that's where being nimble
comes into play and
also another reason that you
don't put the bucket under the
cow! In the end that calf
becomes just way to quick and
way to big to be sharing at
the same time as you are
milking, so I would take my
milk from 2 quarters and then
let the calf in to get it's
share and finish up anything
left in my side.
Milking should be fun, not a
chore, and that's why I shared
with the calf, If I needed to
go out then the calf took care
of milking for me. My cow took
to the routine easily, the
calf grew well still getting
Mom's milk and we had our
share.
If
you plan on milking your
Dexter try and make sure you
buy one from a Line that has
good milkers in its pedigree,
not all Dexters are created
equally in that department, I
have heard that some have only
given a quart a day, so do
your homework. My girl I
estimate (remember I share
with a calf) gives a good 2 +
gallons a day.
Please also remember that if
you are looking for a milk cow
that it has taken
someone many years of raising
and training to get her to
that stage, so the price that
is being asked for her will be
relevant.
We
have milk cows available on
occassion, email for details.
You
often see goat milk soap for
sale, so I decided that Dexter
Milk Soap would be just as
good, and it was!!
