Ranch History
Known as Fancy Feather Friends back in the early 1980s, Neil and Maureen McCready was home to over one hundred exotic birds specializing in a large variety of Ostriches and Emus. It was during fulfilling one of there bird deliveries they spotted the Dexter breed. At that time the small breed cow peaked there interest and they thought "those small cows sure would look good next to our big birds". So Neil and Maureen decided to invest in six Dexter cows, after that they were hooked. With over a hundred birds and the small heard of Dexters on a 10 acre ranch it was time for the all birds to go and time to expand. Neil and Maureen joined The American Dexter Association in 1995, and started Fan-C-Dexter and is now home to one hundred plus head of Irish Dexter cattle on a 63 acre ranch. With Dexter cattle in all three colors; dominant black, dun, and the rarest red, these little guys grow up to between 36" to 40" tall and approximately 750 lb and the adult bulls between 38" to 40" tall and approximately 950 lb. Fan-C-Dexter is now one of the largest Dexter Ranch in America, delivering Dexter cattle as far as Minnesota fill on average 40 orders a year.
