Belle Fourche Baloo presents as a typey, useful Dexter herd sire—balanced build, level topline, and correct feet and legs. His homo-polled status, wild-type red color, A2/A2 milk protein, and clean genetic panel (Non-PHA, Non-Chondro) make him a strong choice for grass-forward, dual-purpose programs seeking dependable structure and sensible temperament.
Baloo consistently passes on strong conformation and an easy-going temperament to his calves. His genetics bring together the best of Belle Fourche breeding, ensuring healthy, dual-purpose Dexter cattle that thrive both as family milk cows and efficient beef animals. With his proven record in our herd, Baloo plays an essential role in shaping the next generation at Mountain Heritage Farm.
Baloo’s calves consistently show clean toplines, good feet, and steady gain without losing that classic Dexter thriftiness. In the parlor and the pasture, they’re easy to be around—our favorite kind of cattle. We look forward to continuing Baloo’s influence in our herd for years to come. His offspring are already proving themselves with steady growth, balanced builds, and the kind of easy handling that makes Dexters such a family-friendly breed.
