Repeated heavy rain in the Plains could also cause flooding throughout the weekend. Nineteen tornadoes were reported as of 10:00 p.m. CT, the Weather Channel reported, including six in Oklahoma, six in Minnesota, five in Texas, and one each in Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming. Very large hail was also seen around Texas Saturday afternoon, including tennis ball-sized hail east of Happy, Texas, just after 2:30 p.m. local time.
Size and Appearance According to the standards adopted by the American Dexter Cattle Association, the ideal three year old Dexter bull measures 38 to 44 inches at the shoulder and weighs less than 1000 pounds. The ideal three year old Dexter cow measures between 36 to 42 inches at the shoulder, and weighs less than 750 pounds.
Miniature cattle are classified in three categories as measured by height at the hip. These three categories are (1) midsize miniature, 42 to 48 inches; (2) standard miniature, 36 to 42 inches; and (3) micro-miniature, 36 inches and under. Small-breed cattle range in weight from 500 to 800 pounds. In general, a miniature milk cow is a third to half the size of the standard milk cow. I find that the 42- to 44-inch height is the most ideal for a family small-breed milk cow.
