We are really interested in gathering info on Dexters from someone with experience with this breed, or similar breed.

The only thing I haven't figured out is what will we do with all this milk? They produce 1 1/2 - 2 gallons per day. Don't know if I will have the time to milk them daily, or will I even have to milk them at all. Well will I ....?

as long as you don't breed them, they won't produce, or just get all steers so you don't have to worry about it, if you do end up milking a pig is a great tandem animal to raise with cows, pigs love  milk and will gladly take care of any extra
