Where Can I Buy A Copy of Beryl Rutherford's New Book "My Love Affair With The Dexter"?

Beryl Rutherford has been breeding Dexters in England for more than 50 years. She has spent her life working for the survival and promotion of the Dexter breed. In particular, she has successfully managed to develop a herd of small, compact cattle free from the bulldog calf gene. She has played an important role in the UK Dexter Cattle Society, and has exported Woodmagic Dexters to many countries.

A brief version of Beryl's story can be found in her "Woodmagic" stud pages on Dex-Info www.dex-info.net/stud_woodmagic.htm. A much more detailed and personal account is now available in her newly-published book, "My Love Affair With The Dexter" (publisher Triple D Books, Wagga Wagga, NSW, Australia, ISBN 0 9756829 0 3). This is a paperback book of 120 pages and 20 chapters, with a number of photos and illustrations, organised in historical order, supplemented with appendices of papers, letters, milk records and pedigrees. There are very few publications about Dexters, and this book is a very welcome and significant contribution to the available literature.

Ellyn Howes, who organised the publication of the book from Australia, initially set up a web-page on it but she has now deleted it as she has sold all the copies she had printed. However, some of the following may still hold some copies - you can contact them to find out:
