When you genotype your Dexter with Legacy your sample is archived by the LEG case number and all the information submitted with your Dexter is archived in the UC-Davis computer system and stored into infinity. ( UC-Davis has been archiving cattle samples and information for cattle owners since the 1950’s.).
This is the only existing Dexter genotype database of it’s kind – and Legacy hopes it will be a treasure trove of information on the Dexters for future Dexter breeders decades from now. Just think of the genetic information that has been lost to this generation of Dexter breeders!
Our Dexters in most instances are very different from those Dexters imported at the beginning of the 1900’s. We can see the external changes taking place, much of it in only the past 25 years, but what we cannot see is the internal changes. Dexters survived because they were hardy stock genetic transformed by deprivation in their native habitat. Has that hardiness changed with pampering? We are fortunate in the US to have genetic stock very similar to the original imports as well as stock that has changed considerably. Through the efforts of Legacy genetic material across the broad Dexter spectrum is now being archived. Should disaster befall this wonderful breed – either through disease or world events – Legacy is confident science will have advanced so that the breed can be restored to it’s native state.
