"Kau-iti" is NZ Māori for "Little cow"

The perfect description for the Dexter, the perfect smallblock cow

Kau-iti Stud is aiming to breed a Dexter that has all of the following qualities:

 * Small in stature
 * Easily handled

 * Dual purpose

 * Raises 2 calves at a time

 * Excellent Dexter beef 

Like nearly all NZ Dexter studs, Kau-iti Stud began with a grading-up programme, starting from scratch with G1s. I then bought in some G2 and G3 cows, followed by the purchase of a full blood heifer and later a full blood bull. My initial narrow breeding base has thus become significantly wider.
