After a rather modest start in 1961 the
Overvaal Dexter Club (ODC), then the Transvaal Dexter Club, has
developed into and remained one of the most stable and successful
cattle breeders clubs in South Africa.
The primary objective of the Club is to
develop and promote the Dexter breed, not only in South Africa but also
beyond our borders. In this regard we have been consulted and visited
by breeders and interested persons from England, Canada, Australia, New
Zealand and various Southern African countries.
It is the firm belief of Club
management that the wellbeing of a breed starts with the breeder, and
that an informed breeder is a successful breeder. Special care is
therefore taken to ensure that breeders, old and new are kept informed
of any changes to the breed standards or other decisions by the Dexter
Cattle Breeders Society of S.A, under whose auspices the Overvaal
Dexter Club functions. In this way stud and commercial breeders alike
are kept abreast of new developments.
